But I've always considered I might be on the spectrum because of a huge part of my overall behaviour and way of thinking etc. so now seeing people say a member has adhd or autism just because they did smth is making me question myself again and self diagnose which I don't like😬
I don't think it's a bad thing to talk abt jk stimming or stuff because I do a lot of what he does too and my friends and family always point it out and I'm like ,, should I not,, but diagnosing members with ANYTHING whether it's autism, depression, fucking idk asthma is 😕
Also self diagnosis is good if u live somewhere where you can't get that professionally done but it can also be harmful. I'd know because of my own experience
