I said thsi in another comment, but every self diagnosed autistic I know is trans. They're all very out and proud about being autistic, even mentioning it in job interviews and the likes, something which almost every professionally diagnosed autistic person would never do, from what I've seen.

The autism community seems to have a much higher rate of transitioning than the rest of the population, but not as high as the self dxers.

I'm starting to get very sick and tired of self-diagnosing. I'm sick of my struggles and pain being used as woke points and attention-seeking behavior. But the autism community would shun anyone who says that.

I’m a little late replying, but yeah, I feel this. I would never mention in a job interview, oh my God the thought makes me cringe. That just makes me think they’re part of the group that really wants to be special and get special treatment at work/school. I have an inkling that some of this group might actually be autistic, but it’s still annoying and damaging to the wider community. And there’s no doubt many of them don’t have ASD at all.
