Why is everything autism?
dingus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Right?? I don’t understand why every single person nowadays supposedly has autism and ADHD. If everyone has autism and/or ADHD now, then does anyone really have it?
Imo, it doesn’t really make sense to turn what are normal human experiences suddenly into disorders now because it’s trendy. If it significantly impairs functioning to the point of things like failing out of school or the inability to hold down a job, then it makes sense to discuss it. Otherwise, I don’t get why it’s so trendy to pathologize common experiences/traits.

tbf its a spectrum. literally almost everyone has at least some traits and its kinda hard to draw a line (and theres no “proper” diagnosis process for autism like theres is for e.g. adhd)
GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Because there are new frontiers to the discovery. I was not aware of the spectrum growing up and was never questioned. But I have many common traits with certain spectrums. Doesn’t mean I have anything. Doesn’t mean I don’t. I haven’t been professionally examined. But it didn’t seem to be as well known as it is now. If a kid truly is on the spectrum, they can know they aren’t alone. Which many of these things can make a kid feel totally alone. So that’s a few reasons.

Participation / selection bias. People who have autism or who struggle to fit in socially are more likely to spend more time making content than normal people.

Why should I experience “common experiences / traits” when medication helps? You don’t need your leg to be chopped off before you can take a painkiller.

Because everyone has it
Dave2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
It is like incredibly normal to do that. Everybody I know does it.

Screenshot of YouTube recap showing 301 minutes listening to chokehold by sleep token
And I thought I was doing well on that front…

Who is the current autism champion?
thesystemisdown@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I know, right? I’m pretty sure even at Brandon Toews’ level, you have to run through whatever it is a lot to get it. Dude’s a beast though.
AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I just like the song, okay?

In a row or just… Over time? 🤔
gerryflap@feddit.nl 5 months ago
It’s funny how autistic people are so different. This is definitely seen as an autism trait, yet I’m autistic and I get bored of listening to something multiple times quite quickly. I require variation. Hearing a song 10 times in a week is already pushing it
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 months ago
I am ASD and have ADHD, so very often things like this kinda even out. The autism side wants to stay forever, while the ADHD side wants something new every 10 seconds.
JoYo@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
it took me hearing from adults with diagnosis for it to finally land that the popular conception of autism is very limited.

It is normal! Fight me bitch.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It took 272 times in a row to get it right. That’s what we call woodshedding.

lol, having a favorite song that you listen to a lot isn’t “autism”
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Lol, people on Lemmy thinking they’re not on the spectrum.
Just because you think something is normal doesn’t make it normal. You’re strange. You’re here.
TheV2@programming.dev 5 months ago
Not every strangeness is an autism sign.
Takumidesh@lemmy.world 5 months ago
This is pretty rude to be honest and I can’t believe rhetoric like this gets voted up.
This trivializes all parties, steers people in wrong directions and generally is just actual unwarranted or wanted fake medical advice.

Apparently when Kendrick dropped “Not Like Us” he gave people autism 🤔
ByteJunk@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Well you can hear the same song on repeat 272 times and not be autistic, but as far as I can tell, this could be one of the diagnostic criteria.
From time to time, there’s some new K-pop that my wife goes crazy over, and every single car ride after that will have that song playing multiple times. It’s not on loop only because I would consider throwing us off a cliff if the playlist didn’t have at least 19 other songs on it. :)
EleventhHour@lemmy.world 5 months ago
OK, so you’ve clearly never had kids. Kids, generally, love hearing some song they like hundreds of times over and over. That does not automatically make them autistic. Yes, often adults like to do this too. It just means that you like the song or whatever else you’re watching or listening to.
