The comment you made to someone who's diagnosed with autism where you try to invalidate because the symptoms are not as bad as someone with more support needs.

It’s very difficult to actually get “diagnosed” with autism. You and I may have some of the similarities of some of the traits but it’s not even close to what a kid with diagnosed autism actually has. Most don’t talk, don’t understand any social cues and they destroy everything in the house. Good luck going on in public because at any minute they can start screaming and won’t stop no matter what. They also will start running wherever they please and you can’t tell them not to because they don’t get it. If it makes you feel better being self diagnosed on the fringe of the spectrum to make you feel better, more power to ya. Bring on the downvotes - you all simply have no idea.
