#self-diagnosed
Dollars to donuts he means the Self Realization Fellowship monastery.

He’s a recovering alcoholic and diagnosed bipolar FWIW.

#AutChat is a tag for autistic people & "autistic cousins" (people with similar experiences due to hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, ADHD, etc).

We welcome autistic/similar people whether formally diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or questioning/wondering if they are autistic/similar.

Also, you can tell the quality control is total dog-sausage.

The 1st one I saw had "self-diagnosed quadriplegic" in the bio, along with contradictory gender/race stuff. Which might have read as "sarcastic lefty" if they weren't trying to start a pedantic argument with one of my puns.

Don't take this person seriously. They're obviously a troll or fake account.

They were pulling a whataboutism with me when I blamed gun manufacturers and human deaths with the two current events.

I don't think they actually cared about the victims.

For the record, he's been a pathological liar, and a self centered prick, for decades. He doesn't get a pass on anything, even if he is diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

I needed these comments about manic pixie dream girls. I describe myself as such, & I do it with a roll of my eyes because it feels like I'm sidelining my own humanity in service to a man who wants to use me to advance his main quest.

Two failed marriages under my belt, to two emotional vampires.

Before getting diagnosed with ADHD, it can feel like everything is leading up to our assessment, like our assessment is the destination or end of the journey.

But learning you are neurodivergent is the beginning of self-understanding, not the end

i self diagnosed years ago... still self medicating... 🙄

Are you Self-Diagnosed yet?
Autism: I want a plan
ADHD: I want options
AuDHD: I want multiple plans with flexible options and a backup plan for the backup plan

Self diagnosed 68 year old ADHD here. Before that, I was just a bit weird and somewhat thick.

The last thing I'll say about all of this Kat/Latner stuff is the reason I am hesitant about allegations like ratfuckery is because I'm Schizoaffective (officially diagnosed, not self) and paranoid thoughts can have me spiraling if I'm not careful.

Do you have any resources for a self/late-diagnosed person dealing with grief from a catastrophic and sudden loss?

Tag yourself

(I’m not formally diagnosed with any of these btw 🙃)
December 12, 2025 at 8:28 PM
that's definitely fair!

maybe it's just the circles i'm around, but IME the autism community is generally chill with self-dx, not least of all because of that inacessibility

there's even a saying, "not diagnosed, but peer-reviewed" :P

If you are Autistic (diagnosed & self-ID), what is the ONE thing you would like to say to the world about RFK Jr. and his nonsense?

And what is wrong with getting a referral from a GP before seeing a specialist? Do people think it's a good idea for specialists to be swamped with people who have self-diagnosed?
December 12, 2025 at 4:15 AM
Working for specialists, I can confirm this! If anyone could just rock up to a specialist, they'd all be overrun with the self-diagnosed, the worried well, and the hypochondriacs! A GP referral is VITAL.

Totally horrific to imagine that considering I’m your age and WAS diagnosed and even then it was still a constant struggle to defend my rights in the classroom. Without that layer of protection to self advocate around I would have been fucked. I picked my college to avoid having to math ever again

(3/3) It feels so weird to say it out loud but im proud of it and happy that I have answers to the challenges I face today being diagnosed late.

A journey to understanding my true authentic self begins✨️

Have a good day everyone 🙂‍↕️❄️❤️

(2/3) So with that being said I am now formerly diagnosed with Autism and ADHD or Audhd. Im taking the steps of self acceptance and announcing here is the first step for me.
December 11, 2025 at 4:28 PM
my cardiologist

and multiple rhuems

and a long list of doctors before i got diagnosed by specialists i specifically found after self diagnosing and finding people who would test me for all of those things

I do have ADHD. It has been obvious since I was 5. Because of the decades involved, I wasn’t diagnosed until my mid-60’s. The label is not a core part of my self-identity. I also was born with Manic-Depression. Bipolar 1. Also obvious since I was 5. The kind that only 47% of bipolar people have.

There are some non-med coping tips that might help? I have Notes on a lot of the bipolar tips. Sleep, depression, surviving a mania, anxiety and self-care. I have both disorders but only got the ADHD diagnosis 1.5 years ago. (Had both since 5 years old. Diagnosed Bipolar 1 in my 40’s before Y2K.)
