> Although ASD can be diagnosed at any age, symptoms generally appear in the first two years of life. After Decca Aitkenhead, the Sunday Times journalist who interviewed Hopkins, pointed out that a late-life diagnosis could bring him relief, the actor revealed his “cynical” view on the matter.
> “Well, I guess I’m cynical because it’s all nonsense,” he told the outlet. “It’s all rubbish. ADHD, OCD, Asperger’s, blah, blah, blah. Oh God, it’s called living.”
> “It’s just being a human being, full of tangled webs and mysteries and stuff that’s in us. Full of warts and grime and craziness, it’s the human condition. All these labels. I mean, who cares? But now it’s fashion,” Hopkins said.
Feels like a complaint about identity attribution (notably by those who have no abilities to ethically/correctly diagnose).
I do get it, as someone with total aphantasia, certain diagnosis by the general public do more harm than good of one’s character. Even more so when espousing misconcieved notions of nuerodivergency/nuerodevelopment at large.
I feel I’ve been hearing about this for years at this point.
Internet definitions of these things are so fucking annoying. No you likely don’t have OCD, autism, ADD, etc. Go talk to a doctor
High functioning individuals don’t have to be autistic.
To each their own. My wife thinks I’m dumb. She’s probably right, but I disagree.
cerebro palsy? broken leg? blah blah blah its all nonsense, we’re all individuals with messy differences
This topic is pretty complicated, given many of the failings of our social and medical systems, people seeking help can wind up receiving little in the way of help only to be slapped with a stigmatized label. Diagnosis can only be as good as our social institutions, and those are often substandard or have very variable quality, whether that be due to inadequate funding, politicization, said institutions reflecting social assumptions and biases which can often be harsh or coercive (because medicine and science can’t magically extricate itself from the social context it is performed or embedded in), etc. I think it’s good to be optimistic about psychiatry and its potential, while also not being too idealistic or naive about its many frustrating limitations.
What a dumb thing to say.
Sounds like something an autistic would say
All these old people are finally realizing they’re on the spectrum, after discovering that it doesn’t just mean the hard r word they are used to saying.
Uh oh better cancel an 87 year old because he doesn’t have the same opinions on autism as everyone else.
Not a medical professional. Ignore.
Am i going crazy or has it been known that Hopkins is autistic?
Poor demented anthony
He’s 87. At some point, it really must sound like nonsense for someone that’s 87.
Younger people that do not care, they’re the problem.
It is not nonsense. Scientific research has done a lot to help people struggling with brain disorders. New medicines, new cognitive therapies, etc. have made incredible differences in mental healthcare. He can have his opinion, but I’ll set my cap on science. The same good science that also makes extraordinary contributions in physical healthcare. But you know, finding a cure for cancer, alzheimers, etc. must be all nonsense, too.
