"They are fucking quacks and the DSM is their money machine so they can then give it to bmw and nordstrom"
"Spergs had to lobby to be included in the autism spectrum when the last DSM was released. There is very little commonality between real autism and Asperger's. The Elon's of the world will lose their diagnosis and finally exposed for their stolen valor."
"easy there with the DSM buddy. I don't want a diagnosis, I want you to tell me I have a criminal's bone structure. CBT? What's that - I was hoping you'd send me to the asylum. No no I don't think I'm dissociating, I'm just having a fit of madness."
"The obvious problematics of DSM aside, it's always terrible when people flatten a person's character through assigning a random-ass "disagnosis". It's a fucking plague."
