Self Diagnosis Is Valid

A Tumblr tag used by idiots who think it's okay to pretend to have autism or that think they have autism because of TikTok. Same with DID, ADHD, Tourette's, and other disabilities/disorders. Bro? They're serious mental conditions. Disorders aren't xenogenders! And no, you don't know better than a doctor with a PHD. Get off Tumblr, touch grass, and get a life.

Emily, 13 year old self-diagnosed autism/DID haver and coiner of some new dissociative disorder or "system" trait: GRRR! I'm sick of these uneducated fools thinking that my self diagnosis isn't valid. DOCTORS HATE WOMEN AND BLACK PEOPLE!!!11!! DiAGNOSIS IS A PRIVILEGE!!!!! #SELF DIAGNOSIS IS VALID
Lucy, an actual autistic person: What the fuck are you on about? You do know that Autism doesn't just mean you're forgetful and DID isn't the hip trendy disorder that everyone wants, right? I deal with a lot of crap from idiots for my autism and it's extremely disrespectful that you-
Emily: ABELIST!!!!!! DNI RIGHT NOW!!!!! *blocked*

Johnny Dingo

A man or individual that specializes in aggressively degenerate behavior, especially when alcohol and cigs are in conjunction. This can include but is not excluded to behavior such as: disappearing with no explanation, trying to fight the shadow people that pushed you over, killing an entire pack of cigs in 45 minutes, fighting homeless people, and saying "I only had a few they have it out for me" when blowing a .028 on your must recent dui.

1: You getting hammered tonight bro?

2: Oh brother, I'm going full Johnny Dingo tonight!

thumbs-diagonal

Somewhat better than "thumbs-horizontal" --- i.e., where you don't know "one way or da other" or " whether it's a 'ding' or 'buzz'" --- in dat you think you've got a better-than-fifty-fifty chance of a positive outcome, but cannot be sure enough yet to do da Fonzie-gesture.

My buddy asked me to run in da store to ask if they were giving out free calendars this year; da clerk said dat they might be, but hadn't heard for sure yet, so I came out and gave my friend a thumbs-diagonal sign.
