Bias is one of the first and most important concepts taught in introductory high school psychology classes. Attribution bias, self-fulfilling prophecy, the Barnum effect, and confirmation bias are just a few examples. The use of placebo pills in medication trials highlights the power of the brain in responding to suggestive cues and self-reporting symptoms. It's not surprising that science continues to demonstrate how self-testing (and by extension, self-diagnosis) is an ineffective tool for diagnosing disorders as complex as autism.

Shocking, you mean people that aren't trained to identify disorders are bad at identifying disorders‽
