Claiming to be autistic
Claiming to have alopecia now too...

‘’Neurodivergents’’ isn’t standard terminology Beckie nor does it make grammatical sense.
Really playing fast and loose especially when she hasn’t had any medical confirmation or diagnosis of a condition that would classify her as neurodivergent.

This is hilarious. Literally no one has ever said, or remotely implied “you can’t kayak if you have no hair”

Maybe Beckie will inspire me to upload a video of myself doing gymnastics, with the caption "I do NOT need eyebrows to somersault". Oh my god. Inspirational.

I forgot she existed. I used to think she was pretty cool and quirky when I was younger watching all her NY and university videos.
I'm in shock...what a downward spiral lmfao.

Why bother linking her YouTube when she doesn’t post anymore 
The neurodivergent thing makes my blood boil like you can’t just say you’re autistic… is she just making stuff up now like ‘guys I’m neurodivergent self-diagnosed pls give me attention and special treatment even though absolutely nobody has ever given me a diagnosis I just want to feel special’ she’s really latched onto the autism thing but I’m not buying it.

Autism in girls and women is extremely undiagnosed. A lot of people say, self diagnosis is valid. (Ofc not for financial or any support by the health system or by your workplace.) It seems to be rather unlikely to think of yourself as being autistic, having autism as special interest, identifying with autistic traits, without actually being autistic. Also, in this quite ableistic world you have zero advantage from it. Coming from someone with an official ADHD-diagnosis who diagnosed themselves also with Aspergers, without any tendenc to get an official diagnosis, because what for, and there’s people who have it worse than me.Why bother linking her YouTube when she doesn’t post anymore

This whole Beckie-Autism thing is pissing me off.
It's true that services for adults with autism are either very stretched or non-existent but the truth is, if you're not diagnosed young (while still in education, let's say), you typically don't need a diagnosis. That's why you have to pay for it. And malingerers know it's a valuable diagnosis in a lot of ways if you're willing to shell out money for private practitioners to diagnose it via questionnaire. So that's why private practitioners advertise that service and make you pay through your arse to get it.
It's not like mental health problems, you don't get a diagnosis then get some help. It's just 'oh, we found out why you're weird, get on with it.'
I was diagnosed at 13 after months of interviews with my parents, family history, being observed at home and in school by psychologists, an IQ test, a video-recorded session to check my motor skills, etc - and even for an autistic female, that's quite late considering I'm autistic enough to genuinely not be able to function in some neurotypical settings.
Adult diagnosis of autism is objectively flawed in a lot of senses and it's something I always take with a grain of salt. I do this because it is an unbelievably easy diagnosis to exploit, and autistic people can be quite easy to exploit too. I feel an unbelievably strong urge to keep the lower functioning people grouped into the ASD diagnosis safe. Due to ASD becoming an umbrella diagnosis combined with the rise in paid-for adult diagnoses, there are some very high functioning, borderline-neurotypical (and flat-out neurotypical) people in autistic spaces, and some of those people really don't have the best interests of others at heart.
There are a lot of ways an autism diagnosis can make life easier for us, but a bleeping breeze for neurotypicals masquerading because they took an online test or paid for their diagnosis after answering 40 questions. If she really wants to be an autistic adult so bad, why doesn't she start campaigning for safer autistic spaces, revision of the ridiculous term 'ASD', and maybe practitioners being a little more thorough when diagnosing adults than a 40 question paper. Otherwise she is bolstering a system that puts autistic people in danger. Same for all these other niche internet microcelebs toting private autism diagnoses. The more high-functioning people get grouped into the ASD umbrella, the less help low functioning people get. And the less seriously their needs get treat.

You know when you have that 1 photo that just sticks in your head for a lifetime? This is 1 of them for me.
Suddenly remembered she posted this… at the age of 28? Idk how old is she now but why? Quirky? It’s cringe and will forever, for some reason, be stuck in my mind

She looks like one of those stereotypical 15 year old non-binary kids here.

Lol that she just got the ambassdorship and is not posting in beckiepaddles that she’s not feeling the kayaking right now
Hi! I’ve been a long time lurker on both the guru threads and this one… anyway. I literally made this account to join in (a little shy, sorry about that!) but I cannot BELIEVE she’s making out she has alopecia now, #shepaddles. Is this because she can’t claim trich is impacting her as much now with how long her hair is now???

ALSO! Just thought, calling it Alopecia? Makes it sound very dramatic, I know alopecia is the term for all hair loss, but it does make images of inexplicable, drastic hair loss… I mean is it likely it’s iron deficiency/thyroid issues something physically/hormonally/chemically wrong?
Everything is drama, everything is the Worst! It must be exhausting to be her
