Isn't one of the very few pathways for an ASD diagnosis through a psychologist. (i.e. therapy)

The guy went on SNL and told everyone that he has Asperger's Syndrome. So, he is either lying about that or never going to therapy.

He's self-diagnosed. He also thinks it excuses all of his awful behavior.

tbf a lot of quirky "neurodivergent" tweens online are also self diagnosed and use it to justify their own selfish/immature behavior

the only difference is that you're supposed to be insufferable as an adolescent and you're supposed to grow up and out of it, not be proud you're in a perpetual state of arrested development well into middle age and beyond
