probably, just look at how many people are retiring to Vietnam.

Are you planning to get eaten, or do you keep company with people who might take interest in eating you?

not defending those doctors in any way as they should keep up to date in their medical training, but we didn’t even really have a proper definition of autism until ~1994 when the dsm-4 was released and the name “Autism Spectrum Disorder” wasn’t used until the DSM-5 came out in 2013. The DSM-5 it’s self isn’t even a great definition as experts say that it’s definition excludes more older people and women than the DSM-4 did.

this means that therapists who have not kept up with their learning, and have been practicing for decades may not have been told ANYTHING about autism, and the ones who stopped their learning 11+ years ago may have been trained on incorrect/bad information.

Mental health professionals are far and few between, are prohibitively expensive to see, and in many cases are working with an outdated education which leaves them unprepared to diagnose/treat certain conditions. That last point is really coming to light in the Autism/ADHD crowd, where if their therapist even knows/recognizes it (quite often people get misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, bipolar, etc.) their outdated training may end up being harmful. With people who have these sharing not only their experiences, but also successful ways to handle and cope with their conditions, teens are able to get the help that is largely not available to them. That and the therapists that genuinely want to help as many people as possible are giving generalized advice on apps such as tiktok.

oddly enough, this tiktok explains many of these points and more better than I can

I’ve tried professor oaks pizza. not great, but not too offensive either
