Why I’m not upset with people who self-diagnose autism

May 9, 2019July 31, 2025 ~ MissLunaRose ~ 17 Comments

Some people claim that self-diagnosed autistic people are gobbling up resources and making people take real autistics less seriously. But are they really? Let's get to the heart of the matter.

Welcome!

I’m Luna (MissLunaRose), a writer, wikiHow artist, and autistic person making her way in the world.

I mostly write about autism and fiction.

If you’d like to read the fictional stories I write, visit me on Wattpad.
