i dont think anyone who self diagnoses themselves with as has it. they probably just have that social anxiety shit
To be fair though, I know sometimes people mention it to their inexperienced doctor who dismisses it...not everyone has an informed health professional to assist with a proper diagnosis. I nearly didn't go through with my assessment because a counsellor pretty much dismissed it (even though he asked me about only about 3 questions, dumb ones too - like, do you care about your family).
