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.
Tempting to ignore them, but I wanted to call it out, particularly as they are claiming to be an 'institute' with influence.
