I know the people in charge of this stuff have noble intentions, but please stop trying to diagnose me with a developmental disorder over someone else's behavioural disorder.
When someone who is delulu reacts negativity to me not being complicit with their God complex and I end up with CPTSD from them bullying me for it, it means that they have a problem that traumatized me. It does not mean that I have a developmental disorder that somehow took control over their bodies and made them mistreat me.
It doesn't make sense to diagnose two people who have entirely different lives and the only "symptom" they have in common is that other people are mean to them, with the exact same disorder.
When the book actually expands autism spectrum disorder to specify a disorder without a lack of social understanding we can talk again. But the past 20 years we have actually gone in the opposite direction, and I do not feel okay brushing us all with this one oddly wide brush.
