Stop saying I don't have them.

Description

I get really really annoyed by stamps saying 'you don't have aspergers' because you know what? I do have it! surprise surprise.
I know these stamps are aimed at people that self diagnose or see one or three symptoms they relate to and then are convinced they have it.
That's why I made this stamp, to give people a chance to not be judged as someone claiming to have a certain disorder.
All my disorders are real, and I struggle with them. They're a huge part of my life so I refuse to not talk about them.
It's impossible for me to never mention my disorders because they are a huge influence on my art as well.
I am open about my conditions! I am open about them to fight against the stigma.
My disorders are only ever portrayed with incorrect stereotypes by media. How can I fight against that if I should not talk about my conditions?
I understand that not all people care about my diagnosis and they do not need to care! They have all right to just ignore me.
I have all right to talk about them and put them into my art.
If that makes me a 'special snowflake' so f*cking be it. I never used my disorders as an excuse.
I may have given polite explanations as to why certain things are more difficult for me or why certain things are harder for me.
But those were valid reasons. If I get extremely tired from social interaction that is not an excuse or me trying to be special.
That is a symptom I am allowed to mention so that people can understand my behavior.
If you think I enjoy telling people about my disorders that says more about you than it says about me.

Please favourite it if you plan to use it. Thank you in advance!

Tbh it gets to the point where I really don't care if people think they are real or not.

But idk that's just me...
