Apparently Sweden are bringing in a thing where adults with a diagnosis forced on them as kids which they hate can apply to get 'de-diagnosed', and if the doctor or whoever it is doesn't feel they fit the current criteria then they will take it off their medical records. Apparently other countries might bring this in too, including the UK and the US.

I'll be the first in line, with the Asperger's one. I feel I can't live my life without fear of something awful happening with that on my medical records, such as AI somehow leaking it out for employers to see or something, or when people on autism sites sound like they're so sure Trump and Farage are going to target autistic people. Although I know this won't happen and people just like being pessimistic, it still hits a raw nerve and I'd feel much better without the s**t pasted on my medical records.

Also I hate sharing a spectrum with all these incels and serial killers, and eccentric historical weirdos like Mozart. I hate how autism is portrayed. I want rid of it.

Getting undiagnosed won't help you, if anything, it might hinder you.

In before all the folks with antisocial personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder start to abuse this to conceal their stigmatized disorders.
