Why People Self Diagnose Autism - Is It Right?

Why are people self diagnose their autism? Hi indie people, in this video I look into autism self-diagnosis. Why some people go the route of self-diagnosing their autism instead of going for an official autism diagnosis.

Now before making autism videos & getting involved with the autism community, I had a negative view of self-diagnosis as I didn't really understand why people would say they have autism when they don't have an "actual autism diagnosis". But over sometime & by listening to other autistics stories about self-diagnosing autism, I can understand why.

Disclaimer: My thoughts are my own & I always advise you seek medical advice where possible if you need more info about autism for yourself or someone you know.
