I don't really care, what label I get as long as it provides me with the support I need. Uta Frith doesn't care about people being generally misdiagnosed and mistreated, she is only upset with the crowd on the spectrum, as she perceives that. If she tends to dismiss people like me, then I don't want to have to do anything with her. I was multiple times diagnosed, misdiagnosed, forced on meds, had s***de attempt and after 2 decades of being dismissed I still see the same. I'm exhausted. And the worst thing is that it seems like the fault for that mess is being put on people like me. Patients, who struggle. No, it's doctors and professors who made it, also Uta Frith. I just need a peace.
I was mocked by some "mental butchers" as I call bad psychiatrists, I was told "it's just depression " "just tesuma" nothing serious and got treatment thst didn't help. Now at age 36 (2 years ago) the suspicion of autism appeared. And then Uta Frith appeared. I could say- pls, doctors, have some mercy and help me if anyone can.
I agree with her about some individuals seeking attention and identity being influenced by social media. It's bad and it harms.
