My kind of a friday night as an autistic is staying home, putting on some music, and just enjoying the fact that I don’t have to talk to anyone at all for the rest of the night. I don't get bored of this.

Because of under diagnosis of ADHD, Autism, and other neurodivergence specifically with marginalized groups we create an awful loop where people don't understand ND folks and are never expected to. We just expect ND folks to cope, somehow, without any tools to do so including diagnosis.

Yes, the stigma for people who are diagnosed is real but you can't solve that by not diagnosing people. Those people still have ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, etc. They need support. The more open we are about diagnosis & directly combat stigma, the more accepting people are.

There seems to be this weird idea in a lot of NT people's concept of neurodivergence that if you don't diagnose it, it doesn't exist. That is not how literally any aspect of reality works. Under diagnosing ADHD or Autism or Dyslexia etc won't make life any easier for the people with them.

Obviously the problem here is ableism and our disability phobic society. Which is invested in pretending disability is a moral failing rather than a normal part of the human experience. And that it makes no sense to be ableist when we could just...not be.
