    I’d agree in part. In my opinion self diagnosis doesn’t mean you get to demand accommodations or special treatment. Self diagnosis for me means that I have the terminology to look for things to change in my life to make things easier, for exercises to help myself and to accept that I might not be able to do everything other people can do. It allows me to stop telling myself that I’m lazy, stupid, retarded etc. It does not mean that I walk around demanding “attention”.

        That’s why I don’t see a problem with self diagnosis though. I did fully explain why I’m not looking for an official diagnosis in a separate comment, that’s why I feel very uncomfortable with the reactions about self diagnosis.
