The thing about FDC is that there are certainly people on social media who misunderstand things like autism and are likely diagnosing themselves incorrectly. But there's a reason why pretty much all their focus is on TikTok, it's because they're children! Of course a 12-year-old on tiktok doesn't have a deep understanding of what autism symptoms looks like. And yes that 10 year old probably doesn't have DID when they say they're a Danganronpa character but you know what they do have? An imagination.
At best they're literally making fun of children having fun playing and not perfectly understanding the world and at worst are making fun of children going through serious struggles trying to find an answer for themselves.
And that's not even to mention the FDC very rarely has an understanding of what these disabilities look like either. Like sensory processing issues is well known to have high comorbidity with autism and yet saying you dont like loud noises gets the response of "no one likes them, you're not special". But if no one likes them then why do people go to the movies? Why are concerts a thing?
It's a horrible sub through and through that pretends to be righteous by "correcting misinformation" but in reality is just laughing at and insulting kids.
Who wants to bet those same assholes suddenly larp as autistic people with hypersensitivity when the topic of wearing a fucking mask comes up?
