As someone on the spectrum and having a partner with ASD and PTSD I can strobyl relate to this. The concepts are being diluted so strongly these days, not just due to social media misuse but also due to concept creep in the DSM5 that a lot seems so vague as to have become meaningless. I also have the same feeling that most mental health activism is the superficial stuff that ever leads to anything in practice. Which is also not strange that it now is backfiring. I am becoming more and more frustrated by the meaningless activism and awareness stuff that I am no longer trusting such groups. It's not what people say that matters, it's what they do that actually matters in the end.
