How would a self diagnosed respond to being gaslighted? I tried striking a conversation with someone, and the style of the conversation most seemed i was being gaslit. Now I don't know how to constructively respond to this person. Who says they have a background in mental health and neurology

The person, is no one who I know In real life. The person is someone from the sewing community in which I engage with. I thought to strike a friendship. A while ago this person send a friend request and I accepted. We didn't communicate alot. In fact we haven't communicated other than me complimenting (commenting) on the person's posts. So today I thought to strike a conversation via messenger. But almost immediately after me disclosing I am self dx'd, the person let's me know of disagreeing with self dx. Also pointing out people from the autistic community disagree with self diagnosis. I've replied by asserting that I no longer wish to continue in that style. Do you think self diagnosis is a good basis? Even if maybe it may not be the correct one.

Thank you for having another point of view. I appreciate you.
