In my opinion self diagnosis doesn't mean you get to demand accommodations or special treatment. Self diagnosis for me means that I have the terminology to look for things to change in my life to make things easier, for exercises to help myself and to accept that I might not be able to do everything other people can do. It allows me to stop telling myself that I'm lazy, stupid, retarded etc. It does not mean that I walk around demanding "attention". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] lgsp@feddit.it 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent [–] kresten@feddit.dk 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Exactly!
