2020 the age of designer disorders...

On the one hand I can say I **do** like the fact that mental disorders have more acceptance and less stigma, but my god did the pendulum swing too far. Now its a point of pride to the point that people just make up (or even get frivolously diagnosed) just to be cool or accepted. Autism and ADHD seem to be the designer disorders of the day and I am completely convinced the overwhelming majority of people who claim to have autism, or were even diagnosed, at least the high-functioning ones, dont.

@freemo it is more they discovered autism treatments help some almost normal people too

@bluGill That makes sense since a normal person in an environment with 90% of the population with personality disorders (the situation) would likely have to deal with many similar stressors as a person with autism in a normal environment.
