Should we FORCE People to get an Autism Diagnosis? r/AITA

Published: June 1st 2024, 10:30:02 pm

I thought I’d break up the two upcoming book review videos with an exclusive AiTA (which came in second place on the lost poll!) 💛 Some of you were keen for more of the usual reaction stuff!

Do you think you owe your family members a diagnosis (or at least researching autism in order to help yourself?) and are you obligated to tell your partner if you do have a diagnosis? Do you think it’s okay to keep that secret?

When editing this I became increasing uncomfortable with the way the Reddit commenters clearly view autism through such a medicalised lens. I wonder if/how the way we view autism will change in the next few decades.

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! 🐌
