I wish I could find the toot where I learned this, but someone suggested "peer review" for autism as an alternative to worrying about a stressful, expensive, gatekeep-y medical diagnosis.

I find the reframe comforting - acceptance by the community as proof of identity. It's a good retort to elitism too.

Them: "But do you have an official diagnosis?"

Me: "I've been peer-reviewed."
