Autistic self-diagnosis is valid. Nobody knows how you think but you. If you suspect you're autistic, if you've got a long list of reasons why you think you MIGHT be, if you keep telling yourself you're probably just making shit up -- trust yourself! Most self-dx is right!

My first days of getting an #autism diagnosis were more like: Me: I feel great about getting an autism diagnosis Them: "You should feel awful about it" Me: (Sighs with frustration) I shouldn't be told how I should feel about my autism diagnosis. #ActuallyAutistic
