Regular reminder that being an asshole is not a symptom of any form of neurodivergence. (You can replace “neurodivergent” with depressed, anxious, bipolar, etc. and the diagram works equally well)
ETA: social faux pas, awkwardness, and genuine symptoms of neurodivergence don’t make you an asshole. I shouldn’t have to say this? An “asshole” is someone who enacts a pattern of abusive, controlling, harassing, and/or harmful behavior with no remorse or concern for how other people are affected.

When have these been fad diagnoses?

Source? I’ve never heard about any massive synesthesia self-diagnosis wave
There’s no source. It’s a personal anecdote. I’m not writing a scientific journal. From my perspective nobody talked about it until i was in my mid 40’s.
That’s called a bias.
