Yeah, its a bit strange that even now there are some downsides to having an official diagnosis. I remember reading about a court case where a father was not able to get custody of his children because he was diagnosed with ASD. So even though we pretend there aren't any repercussions for having a disorder, there still are edge cases like this.
Personally I think it stems from the stigma around ASD.
Yeah... That's why I keep silent about my ADHD diagnosis at work, even if I'm one of the senior whom helps everyone with everything while also handling the more complex projects...
Somehow, I know that there would still be some stigma around it... :(
