Serious If you are an adult and were never been diagnosed with autism as a child, or only received the diagnosis in adulthood, you are probably not autistic.

[Excalibur]

Title. If this applies to you, you should stop calling yourself autistic. You probably just suffer from social anxiety disorder, which caused you to isolate yourself over the years and become socially retarded and entrenched in whatever copes you have. Unlike autism, this can actually be cured with learning how to socialize and constant practice, so quit trying to appropriate the struggles of us aspies.

Explain how I'm wrong then. Autism is very easy to spot in children.

You're not autistic, just autistic

Probably mostly true but some autistic males probably were ignored by the authorities in their life and never got diagnosed because nobody wanted to deal with them.

Inattentive environment + good at masking/getting through school + less obvious autism traits (social problems rather than hand flapping/stimming/not understanding facial expressions/whatever) should be able to lead to late diagnosis even with actual autism, especially if you're a little older. Spectrum, not scale (but also a scale too).

Perhaps in third world shitholes where nobody cares. Most teachers in developed countries are now instructed to recognize autistic behavior.

when you say "now" when does now mean even when I was a kid in school 20 years ago?

It's possible indeed to be autistic and not diagnosed until adulthood, but it's very rare imo.

Not sure. Autism as a disorder started to become common knowledge around that time.

 

[Diddy]

True. Most people here who have display autistic traits only developed it through extreme isolation.

This. Not aut here but OCD + social anxiety disorder (which together happen to have a fuckton of overlapping symptoms with autism), but I only got diagnosed as an adult because my pajeet parents constantly coped about “my child is fine saar” despite peers and school authorities constantly saying otherwise (there’s a HUGE stigma against mental illness in pajeet culture due to jeets’ backwards beliefs regarding spirituality and the mind-body connection)

Autists can range from high functioning to completely non functioning drooling retards, many high functioning autists could just be seen as shy or eccentric or whatever.

But yeah i think many mentalcels here are just abused dogs with severe social anxiety and low self esteem.

 

[Pikacel]

Nah most of us are just high functioning autists. You can just tell, it’s water af.

Failed normies stick out here because they’re noticeably more aggressive and hate being ‘stuck’ with the autists

High functional autists do show some signs and you can tell that they are autistic

I disagree. I don’t deny that most incels have mental disorders, but most don’t have ASD.

I’m referring to the types on here who identify as a autistic solely because they’re bad at social interactions. Autism is much deeper than being socially awkward.

I’m awkward and dumb, will waste 10 hr a day on niche shit. I care more about looking like I’m doing something than actually doing things. Would you say that’s ASD

That’s too vague of a description tbh. Like I pointed out, being isolated for too long can cause anyone to develop autism-like tendencies.

 

[Super Nigger Boy]

[SilverBullet]

I've said this before. Lack of social skills and high inhibition does not equate to autism. People in these spaces will call themselves autists, when the reality is they're genetically inferior, outcast by soyciety, thus becoming socially inept which is a definitive result of a lack of social life

The issue is that if you're parents operate with the boomer mentality of a inner locus of control, they'll think you are acting or making excuses if you're autistic or neurodivergent in any way. I plan to get a diagnosis in the future just so I know if I was like growing up was my fault or not

My parents also had this denial mentality too until it became painfully obvious that I suffered from a developmental disorder. As a toddler, I was dead silent and didn't start talking normally until I was about 4, I needed speech therapy for several years, I was mostly emotionless and unresponsive, I was obsessed with stacking objects and never stepping on lines on the sidewalk, and so on. I missed milestone after milestone and had very odd behavior for a child, so my parents inevitably brought me in for screening.

many incels were neglected in their childhood. i only got diagnosed with autism after i attempted suicide. it was very obvious that there was something wrong with me as a child, i was really weird in terms of behavior and never had friends and had no social skills

 

[Uncle Death]

I got diagnosed with adhd and because my writing style was once so shit, my math teacher tells me to get a disablity card

Mine probably thought it was a phase until now, now I'm expected to do "grown-up" things

Keyword is probably. I never said you can’t have autism if it was detected after childhood, just highly unlikely due to how distinct and obvious autism is in children.

Mine probably thought it was a phase until now, now I'm expected to do "grown-up" things

You really had all of the delays prevalent in autism? If so, you must have been pulled aside by school authorities and referred to a mental health specialist. It happened to me twice which caused my parents to take me to a doctor.

What I mean is that I hope to be neurotypical since the last thing I need is being neurodivergent

I use to have shit focus and it would be written in my reports that I'm in my own world and I not in the class mentally and I use to count a specific amount of vehicles like trucks, cars and their type during lunch by my self. I use to isolate my self for as long as I could remember.

Even climbed trees with my cereal bowl just to eat by myself.

Don't know why though

yeah but like i said many incels were neglected in their childhood so i don't really think it's very probably either

There are several other mental disorders that cause weird behavior or asocial tendencies. Attributing everything to autism is lazy and dishonest.

im not doing that i was just responding to your argument, furthermore you were the one attributing social anxiety to autism in the first place

 

[Excalibur]

im not doing that i was just responding to your argument,

My argument is that most people who self-diagnose themselves as autistic as adults are likely not autistic and likely suffer from other disorders. Even among mental health professionals, I think autism is over diagnosed.

furthermore you were the one attributing social anxiety to autism in the first place

I did not. I mentioned it as a likely alternative to people who think they’re autistic for finding it difficult to socialize.

victim of abuse =/= autist
could be both, but not necessary is
