No because teenagers, especially those who are poc, poor, or are in abusive situations, literally do not have the access to proper help. For years before I was diagnosed with autism I can remember thinking about it and knowing I had it, but nobody thought it needed to be diagnosed. It wasn’t affecting me apparently. I was doing fine at school.
My autism is not the primary reason I had to later drop out of school, but I sure as hell know I would have had an easier time if I got help. Now I can barely leave the house because of autism and other disabilities. I was forced to mask my support needs for so long I have no clue just how much help I need. People treat me like I’m getting my life back together but I’m not. I will never have the life I wanted and the life I thought I’d have when I was younger.
it's so funny to me when i see pearl-clutching articles about how "teenagers are diagnosing themselves with mental disorders via tiktok" because like. this is not happening in a vacuum. teenagers are severely and i mean severely medically neglected. i cannot stress this enough. teenagers do not have free access to medical care. those same news outlets would be clowning on women with housewife psychosis in the 1950's.
i sometimes go pale when listening to some of what my friends have gone through in their childhoods and teenagehoods. they talk about it so nonchalantly, things that would be considered straight up torture if done to an adult, can't fathom the effect this has on children. they are on multiple anti-psychotics and several antidepressants and anxiety meds now that they are adults. medical neglect has legally and effectively disabled them. a timely diagnosis and intervention could have saved them. of course teenagers are self-diagnosing using tiktok. if your knee-jerk reaction is to scoff at the idea and dismiss it as dumb teenager shit instead of being radicalized because the best shot young people have at attaining the mental health support they need is a fucking dancing videos app, you're categorically a political enemy of the youth.
USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.

Are you with me?
Spread the word.
May they suffer the same way as those NFT scumbags have.
I hope they perish.
i can’t wait for when chatGPT and ai image generation also crashes and each prompt cost $50 an attempt. oh you can’t get your stolen big tiddy anime ghibli art for free anymore? you want to buy real big boy art from real artists now? beg for it. beg for it like a dog.
Felt this. I finally know to unmask but I feel like I’m regressing
My doctor and therapist: now with this autism + ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit
Other people: well it's just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that I mean I'm not saying you're faking it's just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before
Fr. Like… Say that again and you’ll also be needing a cane by the time I’m done with you.
The ableds can shut up
'oh its weird to see you with a cane' you have gotten comfortable and familiar seeing me be in constant pain

Use whatever container you wish to use! I use origami for easy hiding. I made this little cube since I can put stuff in it. Satchels or bottles would work.
