  1. CW: mental health, self-diagnosis

    When mental health language gets hijacked, it strips away the words real patients rely on. And self-diagnosing from TikTok can mean walking away from treatment that could actually help.

    I wrote about this recently — including the post-2020 research on tics, the DID trend, and why "gaslighting" doesn't mean what the internet thinks it means.

  6. “When ‘Autism’ Becomes Everything”
    A deep dive into r/Psychiatry’s thread “What even is ‘autism’ at this point?” — how autism is shifting from a clinical diagnosis to a cultural identity in the age of TikTok and TherapyTok.

  11. > The foreword to the landmark 1980 DSM-III was appropriately modest and acknowledged that this diagnostic system was imprecise - so imprecise that it never should be used for forensic or insurance purposes. As we will see, that modesty was tragically short-lived.

    WHAT THE FUCK?! EXCUSE ME?! THE DSM DID _WHAT_?!

    And yet here we are. LOLOLOLOLOL

    If I come across anyone who invalidates self-diagnosis again then I'm gonna smack them with this quote so hard that they get knocked out of our solar system. -Vox

  21. So my therapist proposed a theory today that hadn't previously occurred to me as to why my autism went under the radar while I was growing up. And I think she's right.
    Not that I knew it at the time, but I was trans. I had a neurodivergent girl/neuter brain - so my autistic traits would have manifested as female autistic traits. Which no one, including me, would have even thought to look for.
    Not to mention that in the period I grew up, "only boys" had autism and it was the kind where they were unable to talk, and they rocked in a corner.

  24. Me, after already switching tasks 5 times in the last 5 minutes, I get an idea, drop what I'm doing, open a new browser window, search for "can you self-diagnose ADHD?", and before I can even click the search button, a light bulb appears above my head.

    ETA: and then I rushed here to type this in without actually reading the search results, and I still haven't.
