Inaccuracy was measured against the Autism diagnosis in the DSM and standard approved treatments. These are always going to be out of date because you’re not allowed to run tests on humans. Something about ethics. So the DSM and psych industry are always playing catch-up. Meanwhile, you have a large group of people with lived experience sharing that experience. Surely that counts for something?

“Videos produced by health care practitioners were more likely to be *accurate * [emphasis mine] compared to those by autistic creators and ‘other’ creators”

Yes, of course the actual autistic people would know less about how to address their daily issues than doctors /s

Still, anyone who created a tiktok on how to ‘cure’ autism can get fucked. That part I can agree with.
