Autism Self-Diagnosis - Is It Valid? [August 2021]

DISCLAIMER: I am no medical doctor, so if you see any signs/symptoms that you or your family/friend or whoever is showing from the past or previous audios/videos, do seek medical attention/advice as I don't condone self-harm. So, you may have so many questions to self-diagnosing yourself based on the diagnosis that you suspect that you may have. Do you think is it worth it? Is it safe Why do people self-diagnose? Is it valid for getting an autistic diagnosis or even sometimes for mental illnesses?    Many late-identified autistic adults choose not to seek a formal autism diagnosis, but is self-diagnosis of autism valid?
