I think you make a valuable point here about self-diagnosis. Not just about autism, but all examples of being "not normal." Like, it's rare to find somebody who drinks normally pitching up to AA for help and advice. Apart from a few malingerers it's hard to imagine people *choosing* to wear a label.

And it's worth stressing that a diagnosis doesn't make a difference to anyone else but makes a world of difference to those with a diagnosis.
