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?

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.

It is a bit silly that people keep their room clean and then say “lol so OCD haha” when there are people who are compelled against their own will to repeatedly wash their hands, even after their skin has been rubbed raw and bleeding. But it’s all spectrums and fuzzy language so
