curious about ppl who play gatekeeper around diagnoses (ADHD, ASD, OCD, etc.) it seems like self-isolation bc it’s not usually something I see in the context of actually managing a boundary around a group/community so much as individual identities maybe it’s a validation thing?

Don't think that's true - if anything the opposite is more likely - but I bet people think that way.

Yeah that sounds true for the people self diagnosing. And people gatekeep others from diagnosis because “you’re devaluing the term for someone who has it worse than you” I think really people just want to be understood and get help w whatever they struggle with.

this seems super plausible and even kind of rational I was on a lot of wait lists when I was looking for help and it does give you the idea that getting treatment is an uphill battle a lot of people are going to lose
