The “overdiagnosed ADHD” debate continues… but here’s what late diagnosis looks like for many women: ❌ Years of criticism ❌ No support = low self-esteem, guilt and shame ✅ Diagnosis = clarity, healing and feeling like life is more worth living This matters. So does the research #AuDHD

We Need Diverse Books @weneeddiversebooks.bsky.social · 25/07/2025
The time for disability justice, as it always has been, is now. Disability justice underlines and ties together all anti-oppression movements. If you want to learn more about #DisabilityJustice and how you can support disabled communities, any of these 18 books would be a good place to start!

The eight squares along the border of the graphic show close-up illustrations and images taken from book covers belonging to books about disability justice. At the center of the collage is a blank white square containing the title, “18 Books about Disability Justice”.

That's the exact issue, that slight misalignment between language and the conditions they're alluding to which further obscures and stigmatises (actually) autistic people or those with OCD. Some will take it as a definition of autistic behaviour and others will be harmed by the allusion.
