I usually assume that people who self diagnose are looking for things to help them feel better. If strategies don’t work they try different ones. I don’t see much harm in that.
Also there are still a lot of people (especially minorities) who won’t get diagnosed or can’t afford it. So what else are they supposed to do?
Self diagnosis is valid as well as long as you don’t need accommodations at work/school.
Yeah, but you could be wrong and point yourself in the wrong direction.

if they don’t have access to professional care, that sounds like the best they can do
