​@@kyleandre6404 the intent behind munchausen is faking an illness, what op is talking about is very common for the recently or about to be diagnosed. Especially when you've lived for so long not knowing you had a certain disability or illness and seemed to survive fairly fine, it's very common to question if you somehow faked it or if deep down you're doing it for some ulterior motive.

I have actual psychiatric-diagnosed OCD. I remember being in middle and high school when OCD was popularized (around the 2010 "rawr xd random" era). Being quirky was the big thing, so people referred to their desire to be organized and orderly as "my OCD acting up." So I imagine the frustration people who actually struggle with autism feel when their disorder is used as a trend. People who fake disorders, I leave a special place in my large intestine for you.

If it was made a public statement when you were younger then perhaps it wouldnt be 2023 and we still have people saying things like "autism is caused by vaccines" There is a reason for this becoming more public and its not a bad one. Are some disingenuous, going to far, not properly spreading awareness? sure of course there is, but it doesn't change its outcome. People making it more public has lead to far more people getting properly diagnosed than ever before, its brought it out into the light and more people are learning about it. even with the bad videos people still start talking about it rather than ignoring or hiding it.

[@Abigblueworld]

As an Autistic person myself, those disability fakers make autism sound fun to have, but its much worse than they say it is. Mostly because I have issues with coping with certain things and issues, while these TikTokers act like we don't struggle with anything, just flap our hands and act quirky :/

[@juicybuttercup5393]

same with adhd. everyone thinks that it makes you quirky and distracted, but as someone who's been diagnosed with adhd, it's not fun. you're overly emotional about small things moreso than other people, and there's a lot more issues about it that people who don't have adhd just don't understand

[@Matpit18]

The thing that I hate the most about people who fake having things like autism is that, not only do they do it just for attention, validation, and views, but they don’t show the harsh side of having it at all. Every person who fakes having it always portrays it as something that just makes you more happy and ecstatic and something that’s just fun to have. Well, as an autistic person myself, I can safely say that having autism is not all sunshine and rainbows. From a lack of an ability to handle/cope with certain things to a lack of an ability to focus, there are a lot of developmental and social issues that come with autism. People with autism struggle with a lot and I hate that these fakers act like those struggles just don’t exist at all.

[@Vincisomething]

People who fake autism also have to have a comorbid illness like, depression, sleep disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, or some other neurological or psychiatric disorder that makes your life difficult. You can't just claim to be autistic and think being quirky and stimming is all there is lol. Especially if you've never been diagnosed until adulthood. No one wants autism or ADHD, the difference is those of us who have it really have no other choice but to own and accept it.

[@garakthetailor]

Real I know the struggle

[@missJohnWick]

It is a big struggle, Social awkwardness, not reading body language, I don't know when someone is being sarcastic. Therapist i had back in 2010 diagnosed me with Asperger's syndrome and ADHD. So yes, i agree with your statement. i cant stand loud noises or certain smells.

[@zerthios]

Drives me nuts when people fake things like this, I have 2 nonverbal children and these people have no idea how harmful it is. People seem to have these weird ideas of what autism is and isn't based on fakers. I've been told my children aren't actually autistic and the way they act is just my fault, and I'm a bad parent.

[@Jeff_Bondd]

Personally i dont get it because as a diagnosed autistic myself (I hate that i feel the need to say that) i know a lot of autistic people. Not one of these uses autism for clout. It impacts your life massively and i feel that the people who are self diagnosing are taking away from the struggle that undiagnosed people have/had, especially children. Autism can severley affect learning and thats not even considering people who are more low functioning.

[@redwiltshire1816]

Fun fact: a self diagnosis still requires evidence and an official opinion, you aren’t making a diagnosis your just speculating

[@silentfriend369]

True. I realized I had borderline personality disorder a few months before I was officially diagnosed. To be fair, professionals throughout my adult life suggested I may be dealing with BPD, but I didn't want that to be true due to the stigma. I have every single trait, and the classic borderline "origin story". It was obvious to everyone, including my own mother, before I self diagnosed. And I immediately got a therapist afterwards who picked up on it quickly... what I didn't do was create an internet persona to brag about my self diagnosis to feel special and get attention. I instead took the first steps to getting the help I needed.

[@charlottewillis3525]

EXACTLY!!! For years I was struggling so much with my social and emotional skills, I started researching and I fit the criteria for both autism and adhd, I brought it up with my paediatrician and he agreed I fit the criteria, so he referred me to a psychiatrist. I have know been put on anxiety medication and I have an autism diagnosis. My psychiatrist also thinks I have adhd but that’s not an official diagnosis as of yet! People need to do there research and work with the professionals to get the support they may need.

[@LadyyJesus]

I stopped using TikTok because I saw a video that said, "How to tell you were abused even if you had great parents". Like people on there are literally just looking for something to be mentally ill about. It's honestly disgusting and cringe to me. It also invalidates people have legit disorders and have survived actual trauma. I see it a lot with BPD. These debilitating symptoms are romantasized. Like weird flex, but okay.

[@HavianEla]

It has a lot to do with the victim mentality that’s like a plague amongst social media users. My sister was like that. We have FANTASTIC parents that broke their bodies down to provide a safe space not just for us, their kids, but our friends who often came from miserable home lives. My sister lied about my dad being abusive and nearly got us removed from our home. She wanted to have a misery competition with her friends and nearly got us in foster care.

[@virgofairy88]

I’m so glad I don’t have tik tok, I’m not a fan of people faking autism. I actually got diagnosed as a child (which was rare for a girl back in the 90’s) growing up was hard. The teasing, the missed information, not getting invited to events and being expected to do so many things at once, I had several breakdowns in my 20’s and looking back I didn’t fully grasp that I would still affect me as an adult. Communication can still be a challenge but life has gotten better. Just wish I knew sooner-I didn’t find out until I was an adult that I was autistic.

[@JJBeauregard1]

I struggle a lot with feelings of guilt because I fear more often than not that I'm using my condition as a front and excuse to be lazy and stuff. To think that people fake illnesses for attention doesn't surprise, they just don't know better but it still baffles me every time.

[@popshoppacks]

Something that a lot of people miss is that a mental disorder is diagnosed not by the presence of symptoms but by the frequency and severity of symptoms. Like, yes everyone is forgetful sometimes, but that doesn't mean everyone has adhd. But, if someone's forgetfulness actively gets in the way of living a happy and normal life, that could be a sign that that person has adhd.

[@Oliviaandtrina]

​@@popshoppacks YES this!! Literally everyone on the planet gets sad or even depressed, not even has clinical depression. Same with anxiety. Everyone has felt anxious, not everyone has GAD. Another one that bothers me most is that everyone dissociates from time to time. So many people think that means they have PTSD or DID because they zoned out while driving once.

[@steffymuze]

​@@Oliviaandtrinacould not agree more with both

I believe having communities online for these disorders isn’t always a bad thing. The fakers are wild. It’s so crazy. But following people who actually have autism for example has made me realize a lot about myself. Not diagnosed yet but my dr is setting up my assessment after seeing autistic creators and doing my own (excessive at one point) research to show him. Which started on online like insta, tiktok, Facebook etc, then. It extended onto health websites and authors who are diagnosed, etc. but it has definitely gone too far

[@MarioGoatse]

It sounds like you’re obsessed with being autistic, which ironically sounds very autistic.

[@soberserotonin1850]

I have sympathy for you because I self-diagnosed myself with a couple things years ago and spent a lot of time thinking about it for awhile. I have a psych degree, and it’s very common among people studying these things for the first time to identify with several things in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (published by the American Psychiatric Association-referred to as the bible of mental illness). But this trend is very problematic. One thing to ask yourself with is: Why do you want a diagnosis? Is it for identity purposes, to access health or social services via a diagnosis that health insurance will cover for, or some other reason? If you are actually experiencing mental illness, then you should of course seek a diagnosis so you can access health and/or social services. But, if it’s not for a productive reason, maybe it’s better to seek self-acceptance rather than seek an external diagnostic label to stabilize your identity. Such external solutions tend to be temporary fixes to long-term issues.

[@Jayytbhh4]

@@soberserotonin1850 yes I bounced back and forth with a lot of diagnosis while researching. It took me a couple years of actually researching and narrowing down symptoms before deciding to reach out to my dr about it. It took me years before that too to get my adhd diagnosis. It’s been being researched for a couple years before this trend for sure, just started getting heavier into research with the rise of it, which is why I can kind of understand both sides of this to an extent. I think I want a confirmation by professionals to ease my concerns. It has also opened doors for me with support work, since I find myself being delayed in areas compared to my peers. Wether I am or not, I’m not sure yet because I haven’t had my assessment yet but it’s in the works^^. But I understand your look on it as well for sure

[@laurenarigo3894]

The problem is we don’t have enough doctors who can diagnose people.

[@harugisasama]

I lived my life having a hard time processing things, like I can hear people say things to me but my brain doesn't process it well so I usually ask people to repeat themselves. I ended up going to special classes in middle school and highschool due to this. Overall I didn't take it seriously because I pretty much lived with it. So recently, I was talking to a co-worker about it because I kept making repeats herself. She mentioned I had "something delay disorder" (I can't remember the name) So I looked it up, "huh! That actually sounds like what I have". So I mentioned it to friends and family.... Their reactions made me feel a type of way. I had friends respond I got that too. Since I didn't care about that much after the day I mentioned it I stopped talking about it because I was just genuinely happy It's a word for it. Current day --- Now everyone is talking about people's self diagnosis... which I never knew it was a thing, so now I regret mentioning the disorder. Especially since it was just something interesting I learned.

[@greenthumb2326]

I was given my personally sought after diagnosis for autism just this week. 33 years of not knowing what was different about me, but always having struggled in social situations. Very fascinated by your coverage of this. In my diagnosis, we covered easily 700+ written and 100’s of verbal questions to understand who i am, before confirming me as autistic. It cost me $3000 to find out this about myself, after again: years of struggling socially. It allowed me validation, a viral tiktok could never provide.

[@rrriotpuke4293]

coming from an autistic, being autistic can be hard enough. it already outcasts us from being treated like everyone else. but when people fake being autistic for attention, it affects our community a lot more and makes people treat us like we're all faking it. it really invalidates our struggles and makes us look like a laughing stock, especially for autistics that don't "look" like they have very high needs. it all makes the stigma around autism much worse.

[@PinterestAddlcted]

As somebody with diagnosed autism and ADHD that was very late diagnosed and miss treated their whole life because of being “weird” or “ not fitting social norms” people that want to fake autism, or ADHD, or any kind of disability, will truly never understand the cultural aspects of our community, and I will say there are things that make autism and adhd “fun” such as the community we have by sharing our own experiences with others, but that’s literally the whole point. OUR OWN experiences which fakers do not have. People always think that disabilities will give them some kind of positive attention, but in fact, it’s actually kind of humiliating when people treat you like you’re a dog and think that you can’t understand simple words just because you have autism. There’s a lot of terrible stereotypes about all disabilities especially neurological.

I had a classmate in college who had Asperger’s syndrome, I was told that it was mild but you can pretty much guess by his mannerisms. Interestingly though, he was the first one who I talked to and became somewhat friends with in their batch (I was from a different batch, but I needed to take some of their classes after taking a year break). He was from a different department but transferred to us because of bullying, I can see how it was hard for him to get along with people and open up. At some point he was able to open up to us since we were a department with like only 15-20 people in it and we were close-knit and tried to get along with each other as much as possible. After a few years with him, we saw how he became more talkative to us and can actually look at us from time to time, it made us happy whenever he was the first one to say hi to us. Disabilities are not trophies to collect, they are challenges that people have to live with. The achievement is not being diagnosed with disabilities, but by being able to live and do the things they want while having one.

As an fyi, diagnosis for women with autism is usually difficult or overlooked due the dsm5 being based on MALE autistics. Women with autism behave differently and often mask heavily. Also, in the US, getting a diagnosis as an adult is difficult. Not only to find a place but if you do, expensive. I’m not saying these tiktoks are right and not absolutely cringe and misleading, but I feel a lot of hate is being thrown at women who recently discover their diagnosis with wanting to get attention.

Hey, I usually agree with you, but your point about autism i disagree with. My psychiatrist told me I couldn’t be autistic because I had too many friends and understood theory of mind. Autism is really misunderstood, and literally to get an assessment, it can cost upwards of $10,000. For a piece of paper, that could disqualify you from jobs, or even being a foster parent. Self-diagnosing is valid, especially when you don’t have the money for diagnosis. I think there are very few people that diagnose themselves with a disorder for fun.

[@solarrae]

i agree with this. autism already is harder to spot in people that aren’t white males because masking is so much more common. the girl in the pigtails was right about afab ppl in particular being misdiagnosed w other comorbidities like BPD, bipolar, anxiety, depression, etc. albeit presented it in a cringy and sorta condescending way. i’m in a spot personally where i can’t afford the $1000+ diagnostic test for adhd/autism but im pretty sure i have it. self diagnosis can def be valid, but the difference is that some people treat is like finding a new aesthetic. however, most people don’t do that and saying so kinda takes away from ppl that cannot afford a diagnosis

with the tiktok rap about autism, she is right about autism being one of the biggest missed diagnosis for women in mental health, it is usually brushed off as BPD, Depression, or Bipolar

[@Biffting93]

People who fake disability make me so angry. I am diagnosed with several disabilities and it makes much of my life difficult including fitting into normal society. It feels like those who fake it are basically mocking us and discrediting our struggles

[@Woofy-iv7yf]

I love how oompa talks about these people who fake autism but refuses to say he has autism himself. He wants people to interact with him normally not because he has autism. He truly is an amazing person

[@acuteangle17]

My brother is autistic and he doesn’t even know it and I don’t even know if we are supposed to tell him or not but he’s one of the smartest kids in his class so seeing people pretend frustrates me and confuses me someone can be so disrespectful also, I love you oopaville 💕💕💕

[@Ben-Doverbich]

As an autistic man of 40 years of age, i can say...THANK YOU ! This whole trend of " oh look at me , im autistic because i am sooo quirky" is not only annoying, it also harms those of us who actually suffer from what is an actual disability ! While self diagnoses can be valid, because at some places it takes up to 5 years and lots of money to actually get a propper diagnosis, theres definetly a trend of being " neurospicy" ( TikTokism for ADHD and ASD) .

[@KMS291]

I have ADHD. The struggle to go through with my morning routine and being on time is phenomenal. It’s not fun, not something to shine light on.

[@explorationandhistorywithethan]

Im actually diagnosed with Autism when I was like 5 and its people who pretend to have disabilities that bugs me the most. I don't like my generation, and it's hard to find people my age that I relate to (and actually like).

[@K.Dre_is_Undead]

That poem quote hit pretty hard tbh oompa, thank you for sharing it :)

[@ravner4322]

I've been diagnosed with ADHD since i was 6, i remember when i was little i was not liked because i acted rather abnormal compared to other kids, and it baffles me to see that kid's nowadays will 'pretend' to have ADHD and think it's a gift and that it just makes you really unique and makes you 'creative'. It's just mind boggling how back when I was a kid no one EVER would have wanted to have a disability. News Flash, ADHD isn't fun, and it actively makes my life harder. Don't emulate disabilities.

[@crossanddream2]

I'm someone who actually has autism and had ADHD and never once did I brag about it. I was relieved to learn that there was a reason behind my behavior and other stuff, but I would never be happy about having it. It's just sad how many people who do this trend and are so happy about it

So when I was younger, I read the book "A Rebel In Aushwitz" which was about a Polish Undercover Officer named Witold Pileki. He was sent to Aushwitz on a mission. He eacaped but died to a gunshot when he was caught again. His records of the what happened were almost lost in history. Really recommended but it VERY dark, not the best for younger readers.

[@three7446]

Remember when people used to be ashamed to have disabilities? They went through trauma for it. It blows my mind how people want to have one now. Like those people must feel so boring that they can’t think of anything else that could make them interesting beyond being disabled. Like they don’t try to learn a new language or instrument: faking a disorder is what they chose? Those people will make it harder for people with real disorders to be taken seriously

[@jillosterhaus7308]

4:04 I’m diagnosed autistic (like you) and autism syptomology was based on boys and men which makes it’s harder for women to get diagnosed. That’s why I got diagnosed as ADHD at age 5 (I presented like boy children) but didn’t get diagnosed with ASD until age 30. So like that clip you showed was 100% accurate from the girl in cotton candy makeup.

[@elie4004]

I have autism and its frustrating for me when I see people fake it. :( It's something that is a daily struggle and can be really hard to manage somedays. I wish people wouldn't use it as a joke or for clout. It's not all fun and games being different. You have to navigate a world that wasn't made for you.

[@xxdoggygutzxx]

as someone with autism i will admit that a lot of them are just- so strange- but it is true a lot of women get misdiagnosed for having bpd or something else because theres trhis weird like- stereotype that females cant have- autism.?? its really weird,, a lot of undiagnosed autistic people also get misdiagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder sometimes- it's genuinely so weird,,

[@baiaiaamjaajka]

you know how it feels to be autistic but you don’t know what autism truly is so don’t act like having autism means you know all about it

@oompaville OOMPA 6:28 i literally have been in the same breathing room as that girl, I have her socials and she is genuinely autistic and raises awareness of it... not sure in what manner you were reacting to her video but as far as i remember she had tried so longgg to get diagnosed and just wanted to say that she is genuine...

[@KristophM]

[@tomf4087]

Narcissistic, self obsessed, and very needy are what people who go on social media are. It will also affect your mental health. Particularly long term. Its why there is a mental health crisis amongst children now.

[@loverbxy]

The reason behind why newly diagnosed autistics being so proud of their diagnosis, is because for the first time in their life they understand why they've struggled so hard in whatever part of their life it affects, and it's very disappointing to see people who were diagnosed early with it (like oompa) scrutinize and judge them for it, when early diagnosed autistics are less likely to develop mental health issues and get into dangerous situations than late diagnosed autistics (quote me if I am wrong).

[@baiaiaamjaajka]

you’re wrong and never comment on a video again

[@HavianEla]

I don’t think that’s what Oompa was doing at all. I think he was showcasing how self diagnosis and romanticization of Autism or mental illnesses is a serious problem.

[@Mercsblog]

As someone that's actually diagnosed with Autism and depression and adhd. It makes me sick about people pretending or people just being dumb about mental illnesses.

[@ARealCupcake]

The thing I hate about the faking disabilities is the fact that a lot of people will actually believe they might actually have something like ADHD or autism, but not really understand everything about it because of TikTok. For example I share a lot of similarities with autism, but I am not autistic, I actually have Schizoid Personality Disorder and likely schizophrenia. A lot or people just tend to gravitate to autism because it's "quirky", you'd never see someone on TikTok pretend to have Schizoid personality disorder or schizophrenia because then you're just a crazy person. And that's what I hate the most.

[@emorykent957]

There are two girls who work with me and have both self diagnosed themselves with Autism. I do not have Autism but I have been diagnosed with ADHD, depression and anxiety (which is essentially just ADHD as it has branched from both of them, dunno it’s super weird). I cannot express how frustrating it can be to hear people “self diagnose” themselves with a mental disability.

[@FreddieHg37]

Today is Sunday, 3rd of December 2023, 4:00 p.m. and I just found out a few seconds ago, through this video about the fly syringe torture and it's totally despicable, I cannot believe this was a thing and I wish I had never found out about it.

I am ADHD (no autism diagnoses) and stim all those same ways. Autism and ADHD can be similar based on where you are spectrum wise so another reason to avoid self diagnoses

The funny thing is if flies died out it actually would affect you in a huge way. They're one of the biggest decomposers on the planet and help clean up an insane amount of decaying organic matter that would otherwise just be rotting and unable to be taking care of by the remaining clean up critters. They're also a huge food source for a lot of different food chains. Because they're so plentiful and they can survive on next to nothing they make a perfect food source for a lot of other things

[@Karlstrainz]

What gets on my nerves, someone with Adhd and Ptsd, is that people don't realize how underdosed autism is, especially in women. More and more people arenow being diagnosed due to it being not only looked at in men.

[@O8WRx]

I'd imagine there are tons of people with mental things that just don't know... and don't care because it doesn't change who you are.

[@GMoney72049]

I have a brother with ADHD and I know that he has had a difficult time because of it, it isn't fun and it isn't a personality trait either. And I know violence is not the answer, but if someone came up to me and said, "I really want ADHD." Or "I think I probably have ADHD (BUT I'M NOT GONNA TEST FOR IT)." I swear I might just punch them. I've met people who have said that before and it annoys me so much.

[@beansmeup]

I went to get diagnosed for ADHD at 29...they asked if I wanted to look at autism and I said sure, not thinking anything of it...ughas a WOC at 29 getting diagnosed AuDHD I legit got so fuckign depressed this was like 5 months ago... I hate it.

[@emmikate]

Oomp I really severely hope you see this and understand that while TikTok is not the place to bring it autism is severely severely severely severely severely severely misdiagnosed and missed in born female people. As someone who is getting formally diagnosed there's a lot of people that are not faking it that are really realizing why they started harming themselves at 3 years old (me).

Crazy thing is that they use it and then you accuse them of faling and their like “gasp. Why would I fale this severe disease I struggle with” idunno.

People want to fit into a label so they choose something then feel the need to meet all the criteria instead of simply existing.
