Diagnosis by pop checklists

Just now "Diagnosing autism by tiktok" from Quilette is on AVI's sidebar.

I'm not sure which is more risky--making illness trendy instead of treating it seriously, or encouraging the hypochondriacs to self-treat. Or excusing behavior that's actually something they can control--unlike the truly impaired.

Good luck using Tik Tok to try and diagnose a disability that's got at least several different variations! Besides, I wouldn't trust Tik Tok to know cannons from coconuts.
