The person sitting with their psychiatrist really got on my nerves with the passive aggressiveness, you can tell they were trying to manipulate the psychiatrist into changing his mind in an attempt to get a "Oh well actually you could have that" or "Yeah let's go with that" response which is not how a diagnosis works. You got diagnosed, got what you wanted, I'd also like to mention that the psychiatrist added "like we said last time" indicating it's not the first time that this person has tried to get a DID diagnosis.

There’s a girl I go to college with, I think she’s 20, and she says she has ADHD and Autism. Now, I obviously don’t know for sure, but I’m 99% sure she’s making it up. She brings it up Every. Single. Day. And she’s self diagnosed. Every conversation with her is exhausting, because she always has to have the worst trauma or situation going on, I could simply say “my mom got a little upset before I left.” And she would respond with “well at least your mom doesn’t beat the autism out of you.” She says this loud enough for the entire class to hear. We had to state a fact about ourselves while we introducing ourselves to the class on the first day of school, she said “I’m kind of autistic.” I have OCD, but I don’t go around telling everyone about it 24/7.

She might actually have it cause autism could be her special interest, she really needs to go get tested by a professional though. I have autism and adhd, I bring up my special interests a lot and most of the time it’s the only thing I want to talk about. I miss a lot of social cues and tend to tell people things and over share my struggles a lot aswell because I don’t know when is and isn’t the right time. I have a hard time understanding right and wrong things to say to people as well. And the fact she doesn’t know how obnoxious she’s being might be her missing social cues as well. My special interest is autism and I love talking about it and learning more about it. For me my entire life changed once I got diagnosed, I was able to accept the way I am. I kind of acted like her before I had gotten diagnosed, I would talk about autism a lot, and ways I thought I could have it. I even wrote a couple page essay on why I thought I could have it. You should tell her to a professional, it’s the only way to know for sure if she’s doing it for attention. When I first gotten diagnosed I told everybody in my family and all of my friends because I was just so happy that I finally understood why I was so different. She could be seeking advice when she brings it up so next time she does definitely tell her to go find a psychologist and get tested. Not all psychologists charge a lot of money.

Sometime I do not understand this generation. I fit symptoms of SO many things but I do NOT self diagnose. The closest thing I ever have had to even getting the courage to ask a doctor about this stuff was when my Dad said he thinks I have Asperger’s because of how I act. I’ve never gotten around to asking a doctor, and I may never ask. Because I think that wether you have ADHD, or OCD, or Asperger’s, you should not let it define you and you’re behaviors. “Oh yeah I missed my assignment last night because of my ADHD.” Think of this: you probably have heard of Michael Phelps and how successful he is at swimming. Believe it or not, he has ADHD, but he did NOT let it be his whole personality and let it hold him back. Instead he brushed it off and became the fastest swimmer in the world. I just don’t get why people make it their whole source of problems and personality.

the entire point of mental illnesses and disorders are the debilitating effects they have on an individuals life. nearly EVERYONE can relate to some extent to any symptoms of all mental disorders. it’s the degree to which those symptoms are present in your life and how they affect your daily life blah blah blah blah but no someone sees adhd means struggle to focus boom they must have adhd 🤪 no. ugh it’s just so frustrating. there’s nothing wrong with self diagnosing TO YOURSELF (not to the whole damn internet) and then following up with your doctor or a medical professional to express any concerns you have. mental disorders are not some cute quirk to just “have”, they’re serious problems that so many people struggle with. i’ve had depression since i was like 11 but i didn’t get diagnosed til i was 17. that doesn’t mean i didn’t have depression when i was younger, i just didn’t get the help i needed until years later. at age 19 i talked to my dad about how i think i MIGHT have autism and i wanted to try and have testing done. he insisted that i just had adhd (???) because he had adhd when he was younger. a year of neuropsychological testing later: tada, turns out i have autism (also ptsd & OCD according to my neuropsych but i was just focused on seeing if i had autism). my diagnosis explained.. so much. of why i’ve struggled my entire life to just function, to socialize, my dad just kept telling me it was the depression. it’s exhausting but relieving knowing there was more. i’m 20 now, honestly doing really well. my “disorders” or however you wanna categorize them do not define me. they’re just a part of me. i don’t march around proudly claiming that i’m autistic. i just have autism. IM JUST ME hhhhh just wanted to rant rq. sorry for the novel. i appreciate your comment and agree with what you said

Everyone's looking for a way to be a victim, or member of an oppressed group. It brings attention and other perks that people crave so dearly.

I appreciate your dedication to spreading awareness about these fakers and their harmful misinformation and stereotypes!! It’s unfair to the people who actually suffer from these disabilities and disorders to have to (on top of dealing with the actual illness/issues) now deal with people who are disingenuous, ignorant,selfish, and who are just making things worse!! (Sorry for ranting but this is a topic that hits home for me). P.S just subbed to you. Again thank you for calling them out on their bs. 🙂

I always have liked throughout his videos that he explains and gives Descriptions on the actual illnesses. From personal experience a lot of people think that DID is a cute little thing that people have developed overtime, but I personally know having DID that it comes from so much trauma and pain. It messes with my real personality. But it helped me get through the messed up things that happened to me.

as someone diagnosed with OSDD, all these people on tiktok are just absolutely ruining the lives of people with diagnosed DID/OSDD the horror movie industry already made it bad but these people just made it so much worse this disorder is not quirky, it’s not having friends or boy/girlfriends or your favorite characters in your head- it’s a genuinely distressing experience that stems from repeated childhood trauma

As someone who has been diagnosed by a therapist with adhd, social anxiety and mild depression, I can say for certain that the impact all these disorder faking people is massiVVVve. Though most people believe me, they are usually very questionable at first and I have encountered people saying I don't actually have it n shit, despite me telling them i've been diagnosed and shit and yeah is just so scuffed man Things like this shouldn't be put on a pedestal at all and the fact that it is is just insane. People need to differentiate between be accepting and understanding people with mental health problems + disorders, and putting people on a pedestal for it. It's so insane. Having adhd and especially social anxiety is so fucking bullshit and I can't speak for others who has things like autism and DID and all that, but I can imagine they feel the same way. And to see all these people self diagnosing and faking disorders for clout and to be "unique" just, idk it's so fucked if you self diagnose for things you think you have, go talk to a therapist and find out for certain. Wanting to have a disorder is a red flag. If you want to have severe social anxiety you most likely don't have it. you have no idea what fucking hell it is happy to see so many people here who are on the same side. If you self diagnose; you're the problem

11:51 i love how you can see the filter move over her finger

As someone with Asperger's I could never understand when people get their diagnosis and start acting the most disturbing and childish way after doing so far in life as a normal adult. Ok, I understand about trying to being comfortable, but they look like they were made in the same factory and I just think is so degrading (and ofc they'll never shut up about that and about how they feel oppressed by neurotypicals) when I got my diagnosis I promised myself that this wouldn't be a reason to just pass from all the dreams and wishes I had, I want a normal life and not acting like this jester clown media has been pushing to us.

i dont understand. i have two cousins on the spectrum, and their life isnt great, its not something thats cute or enviable. one of them is a mechanical genius, but he struggles so much with social interaction that he almost never talks to anyone, not even his family, while the other cousin has problems with school AND social interaction, and he takes problems too seriously and acts aggressively. its definitely not something i want to have (there been signs i might have adhd and/or autism, but i have no official diagnosis, therefore i am neurotypical) i just wish the best for neurodivergent folks, and hope all this craziness over faking disorders will come to an end quickly

Im lvl2 autistic and its not weird and fucking stupidly quirky like the way its being portrayed; all the vanilla stimming and bullshit. its having no job, eating disorders, no friendships or social participationm ,sicucidal behaviours and self harm in meltdowns, bad hygiene and constrantly struggling. getting a diagnosis is not fun. my autism is not fun. its not quirky. i wish i wasnt autistic. for the love of god i fucking hate how hard everything is. all the time.

I got my disorders from being hit by a truck and suffering severe nerve damage. The bullying I got after by people who didn’t know why I acted different made me anti social and scared to talk to people. My mom, struggling mentally to transition between having a mentally capable daughter to having one that acts different from before, gets frustrated with me for behaving off. I became severely depressed and ended up with self-destructive tendencies. I don’t see any of this as fun or quirky. It has genuinely messed up my life. It’s been ten years and I’m only just recently starting to get my life back in order. I had to come to terms that I can’t have my dream job (or job in general), deal with years of government paperwork and tests to get on disability, and being worried to tell anyone (even in situations I need to) about what happened or what I suffer with because of the fact they could think I’m trying to brag or get special treatment, or think I’m faking it. I had that happen twice and it was genuinely upsetting. They tried to poke holes in my story to try and prove I’m lying, and then I point out that they didn’t have the facts straight or just made something I said up.

I remember that time when my parents told me that I have Asperger after being diagnosed by a doctor many years ago, they waited until I was old enough so I could process everything that have happened in my life, the reason why I was different from other kids, and the strugle that keept me going. Being a target of bullying was so normal that became a part of my long angry journey, the main reason why I never wanted to change schools because I knew damn well it will be the same...it lasted until college, but I managed to finish and become a dentist. Disorders are not a choice, some are more complicated than others, and sometimes, for some people, it feels like a curse. But when I saw this video, I felt insulted, more than sick, those Lost Gen Z children reminds me of Erick Cartman from South Park when he faked a disorder, then end up having one...not wishing the same, just something FAR worse, can't believe they still keep doing this. ¿WTF are their parents doing? ¡Tik Tok is not a babysitter! You did a good job with this video and the rest, hope you get well. And sorry that my English is not that great, is not my main language.

I have ADHD and working on getting an autism diagnosis because ive done tons of research including from the DSM-5 and the Mayo clinic. I also have PTSD from my mother having severe panic attacks when i was a kid. I happen to have a bunch of “common mental issues” so im accused of faking. It’s incredibly annoying.

I was diagnosed with autism and it affects me every single day. I struggled badly in school pre-diagnosed, and I ended up having to drop out to do homeschooling instead (which was a good decision). I struggle to emotionally connect due to it, which can be extremely frustrating. I don’t understand emotions like a neurotypical person, which can make me come off like a jerk. I forget to do basic everyday things like eat and sleep, and my sensory issues really suck. I remember once I was having a hard day, and a woman gently touched my shoulder to get by me and I ended up having a full meltdown. It isn’t something “cute and quirky”, it’s a real disability that affect real people. High functioning or not.
