autistic person: I think I might be autistic.
neurotypicals: You can’t just self-diagnose with autism! Only professionals can know you well enough to know if you might be autistic! Professionals are knowledgeable and unbiased and their decision is 100% pure. you probably just decided you were autistic because you wanna be a special snowflake or something; a real psychologist could see through that!
autistic person: I am professionally diagnosed with autism.
neurotypicals: No way! You!? Autistic!? You don’t act anything like an autistic; trust me, there’s this kid that goes to my four-year-old sister’s daycare that has autism and they’re nothing like you! I swear, autism is like the new ADD or something! They just slap that label on anyone who’s a little weird! Don’t worry sweetie you’re not autistic don’t let their labels define you! Psychology is getting out of hand these days; crazy shrinks!
