Check Skunkw's response.

People faking disorders for clout. People going "I forget things sometimes so I totally have severe ADHD (despite having no other symptoms or diagnosis)." "I feel sad sometimes, I'm totally depressed."

"Sometimes I have trouble understanding other people's emotions, so I'm totally autism spectrum. But not the ugly kind that has severe sensory processing issues. I've got the cool kind, like Sherlock from the TV show! It basically means I'm super smart, not that I just might have some basic empathy issues and development to go through as a person still because I'm young. Aren't I unique and cool? How dare you say that I'm causing problems for people actually diagnosed by muddying the waters and leading people not to take serious diagnosises seriously! I feel like I'm this thing, how dare you say that's not enough to label myself as it!"

So... pretending to have a disorder, then.
