    You may as well say no medical condition exists then.

    Theres no biopsy to diagnose autism. There is no genetic test as of yet. It is an opinion based on an assessment and various mostly self reported criteria

    Unless there chemical, blood, or other tests which yield empirical results it is an opinion, a medical opinion, but an opinion nonetheless.

    If you're not sure whether General Butt.Naked is right about this, maybe you should get a second opinion?

    Assuming one person assessed me.

    Even with conclusive testing parameters like an autism biopsy, a diagnosis would be a given doctor's opinion (based on their interpretation of the results of those tests). Scientific medical evidence is, after all, just (extremely good) evidence supporting a diagnosis.

    No, no. I'm not. Multiple concurring opinions are still just opinions though.

    You're autistic, Kafka (in my medical opinion). Search your feelings, you know what I'm saying to be true.

    Opinions can be extremely well-founded!

    They remain opinions.

    I know you have malicious intent toward me because I'm a female. You've been calling me a retard and don't want be to believe I have aspergers because the condition is associated with genius. There is no other reason why you're so intent on making me doubt a formal diagnosis. I would like if you were wretched elsewhere because I have nothing more to say to you.

    It was two of my irl friends who guessed I had aspergers, they knew before I did. If people here think I don't have it then that shows they don't know me.

    lmao when have I ever called you a retard, retard?

    I don't want you to doubt your formal diagnosis in particular! Your doctors presumably had extremely well-founded and informed opinions about the nature of your condition. I'm just being autistic about the nature of diagnoses.

    Also I'm a cartesian skeptic, or close to being one. I want you and everyone else in the world to doubt everything. It's not because you're a wammin.

    I mean, assuming anyone else exists, I would like them to harbor a little doubt in the back of their minds for everything (even the things they're most certain of). There are no guarantees that anyone besides myself and an evil demonic genius does exist, really, but that thought is existentially terrifying so let's pretend.

    Diagnoses are, ontologically, a form of opinion. That doesn't mean they lack any basis in reality. It's my opinion that the sun will rise in the East tomorrow. This has supposedly been the case roughly 12000 times since I've been born, and billions or trillions of times before that, so it's a pretty reasonable opinion. It's almost certainly true.

    If I were stellar doctor, and rising in the east were a stellar medical condition, I would feel very comfortable diagnosing the Sun with Eastism. If you went to a different stellar doctor they'd probably tell you the same thing. If you went to 50 they'd all probably tell you the same thing. They'd all share my stellar medical opinion, because it's one of the clearest cases of Eastism I've ever diagnosed.

    If you keep denying the reality that diagnoses are medical opinion, I may actually start thinking you're retarded, Kafka. Asperger's may be associated with genius, but it's no guarantee. A formal diagnosis will not spare you from the withering gaze of my retard detecting faculties.

    Just admit your wrong, kafka. You can do it. I believe in you. Someone who'd grown the fuck up would be capable of such a feat. Demonstrate it for me.

    That settles, you definitely don’t have aspergers, because you're a dumbass

    I got a 23, they said 0-25 means little to no autistic traits. I thought I may be autistic somewhat but because I'm extremely antisocial but I guess not. I can carry on conversations and be social I just don't like to be most of the time.
