Someone on LinkedIn claimed that I'm not autistic based on a single comment I made in relation to a thread by Pete Wharmby, author of 'Untypical'. Un-diagnosing an autistic person is very irresponsible. By doing it, you're doubting a person who has possibly spent decades not knowing who they are and why they struggle so much in a world not designed for them.

I get the anger, but does this person actually know you? Do they have the power to undiagnose you? If not then ignore them for being ignorant and talking a load of bollards.
I can't speak for the OP, but in my case, while the individuals didn't know me, they had a lot of power and people on their side.
