This post is going to be short probably. It intrigues me and I don't understand, why it's often written in articles in the Internet, "is it autism or just anxiety?" Or "Autism or just trauma?" Etc. Does it imply, that Autism is a serious condition while anxiety or ptsd are just minor inconvenience? In fact the amount of struggling does not depend only on specific diagnosis, but rather the severity of symptoms. Is this "just" added because the other conditions are curable? - only if the professionals know how to care it. How many people get diagnosed with depression and anxiety for decades, although these conditions should be cured within a year or two?
I joined once a forum for people with ptsd, as I also experienced terrible abuse (No details here) and honestly the severity of some symptoms described there was shocking for me.
So I'm wondering if it means, that tge other conditions are not being treated seriously or what else would be the reason for saying "just depression " etc.
Or maybe I'm too obsessive to overthink just one word in a sentence. Anyone has opinion or clue about it?
