"Undiagnosing" based on a few videos. No should do.
I don't get why someone would post a video about being autistic and then purposely put a lot of effort into appearing neurotypical.
Maybe they want to communicate to NT's about autism without distracting NT's. Maybe after so many years of trying to pass, bieng in NT mode is just something they do. We have read posts here about people afraid they wil not get an Autism diagnosis because despite knowing they should be themselves during their assessment they automatically went into NT mode when with another person. Maybe dispite all the Neurodiversity rhetoric deep down inside they are still ashamed of their autism.
