| I didn't read it that way. I thought she meant some men might seem autistic because of social awkwardness, nerdiness, loneliness, or trouble with emotional expression etc., but they might actually be faking it (or their parents bought a weak diagnosis). I thought she meant it wasn't fair to women i... |

| ASPartOfMe has pointed out that there are reportedly quite a few people who want to jump on the bandwagon of being autistic / neurodiverse and that in some cases, that hurts the autistic population's credibility. I still don't think it's anywhere 70% like the OP suggests. I'd struggle to believe ev... |

| I've never heard of this before. It sounds like a lame attempt at calling introverts and schizophrenics both "crazy". I use the word introvert because lots of people with cats tend to be introverted for the basic reason that we don't usually walk our cats outside or take them to "cat ... |

| I never doubt anyone’s diagnosis unless there are exceptional circumstances involved which solely happened once or twice to me. I didn't mean to imply that I watch YT videos and doubt people, but like you said people fake all sorts of things. On YT there are people faking everything from cancer to ... |

I think Barchan already explained that she meant no harm in her comment.
If women could stand the risk of dating "fake" autistics, so could men.
I think we all agree on that.
I really doubt there are many fake autistics of any gender though. |

| That's what I meant too Blitz. The only reason I mentioned it is to say if there are people faking it or having their parents buy them diagnoses like Barchan suggested, it wouldn't be only men and I don't see how misogyny applies. ASPartOfMe has pointed out that there are reportedly quite a few peop... |

| I had a language delay. I was lucky that my mother kept my "baby book" with general milestones in it, and all of my school reports starting in 1973. Most of the anecdotal comments by my teachers and my school speech therapist smacked of autism and / or ADHD. As part of my Developmental His... |

| I was referring to some of the women I see on YouTube talking about their new diagnoses. It's not my place to judge whether those diagnoses are valid or not, and I hope and trust that most of them are, but there's a chance some of them are faking it entirely, or else their diagnosis wasn't very form... |

Why is it misogyny in action?
Can't it happen in reverse with sociopathic female wannabes?
I've come across many women who seem to fake it to cover their eccentricities.
Sorry if this is a derail to the topic. |
