AITAH for telling GF to go to the doctor?

AITA for telling my girlfriend that she needs to get tested by a doctor in order for her to say “I’m autistic and I have ADHD?”

She constantly talks about this.

And I don’t understand how to even have the conversation with her nor do I understand how to help her.

This man is tired of hearing the same things from his GF.

I’m honestly tired of hearing the same things over and over again.

About the different reasons as to why she has these conditions without being diagnosed.

He doesn’t have a problem with it, but he wants to hear it from a doctor.

I am diagnosed with ADHD, and wouldn’t have an issue.

I don’t have a problem with her being either or both, and would be elated to know how I can support this.

But what is even going on?

He says no one can make the assessment, except a qualified doctor.

You guys, I’m not equating “being treated special” to the care that ADHD or Autism needs.

I’m stating a reason someone would refuse treatment, but still claim they are Autistic/ADHD.

Without a valid professional medical degree, you cannot assess that.

And if you say that you can or you are doing it, I am sorry to say, but you’re wrong.

You’re not qualified to make that assessment.

I wonder why his girlfriend doesn’t just get tested?
