Is Autism some sort of new badge of honor?

It seems like everywhere online, but especially Twitter and Reddit, people are claiming to be autistic. Read something on Twitter today where someone was talking about hooking up on Tinder and they have autistic in the profile. Is this just some new badge of honor for some or has the spectrum gotten so large that if you read or play video games you are now autistic. It also seems that more than half the profiles with pronouns also state this. None of the people who claim this seem to have any issues functioning. What did I miss and why is this a thing now?

You’ll want to know if you’re getting into a long term relationship with someone with ASD. You may not want to see it as a badge of honor so much as a heads up.

No most of these kids are just weird and socially inept so they say they have "a touch of the 'tism."
There is an increase in autism, but there is a greater increase in dumbass kids on the internet.

My guess is some of it is simply self diagnosing. It’s like how lots of people say they are OCD because they like things neat.

Me and autistic chick fit together like puzzle pieces

All they are saying is “I can’t handle being uncomfortable. Many thing make me uncomfortable.” Sad really. Suck it up buttercup.

No, it’s not a badge of honor. It’s an incredibly difficult path to walk. I used to be like you. It’s one of those “until it happens to you” deals that you won’t understand.
One of my kids is. The others are not. It’s been challenging.

Since Autism is a social disease, its probably a guise to cover for their socially awkward behavior.

The amount of symptoms that fit under the autism umbrella is crazy. Literally everyone could have one or more symptoms of Autism so anyone could have it. It’s weird.

I have alturism.

Everyone wants to be a victim nowadays so they all want to claim some ailment. It's really weird.

I thought the new in thing to be is “neurodivergent”

Real actual diagnosed autism sucks hard. All these idiot kids that are slightly sociably inept saying they have autism is laughable.

If I had a nickle for every time a client said “I saw on TikTok that I might have…”, I’d have courtside seats at Rupp.
Some dork on TikTok claiming that if you do X you have ASD =\= an actual diagnosis through the DSM-5-TR and further evaluation.

Yes I think it’s the badge of honor. “Neurodivergent” is for those not wanting to fully tarnish themselves as autistic but still get some sympathy and “I’m special” cred

Everybody’s a little autistic. And a little bipolar. With a splash of Tourettes. Everybody. And don’t even try to lie.
Posted on 10/28/23 at 9:12 am to Chemcorp158
I think any kid that's a bit weird is calling themselves autistic nowadays
