Well, maybe that’s what’s happening. Or maybe a lot more people have realized they’re likely autistic than in the past. Getting a diagnosis seems like a lot of trouble to be “trendy.”
- stathibus 5y agoThe people trying to be trendy are not the people seeking medical diagnoses in my anecdotal experience, but the fetishization of mental disorders on the internet as social media profile badges among young people is not helping anything.
