In France too we have a Freud problem, both from what I've been told and from what I've experienced. In fact when I started seeking an autism diagnosis (which I still don't have), the first psychiatrist I went to (whom I had seen for some other stuff previously) ended up saying something along the lines of: "Yes, you do correspond to diagnostic criteria for ASD, but I don't believe in the usefulness of a medical diagnosis. Anyways, Freud said that neurosis [...]." I'm barely exaggerating.

As part of my treatment I got tested for a bunch of psychological issues. One of them was an autism test where the psychologist said she had to work on some paperwork and conspicuously brought in a box full of toys to see which of them my adult ass would play with while she sat back and took notes on how i reacted. I directly told her that this was obviously some kind of test and my knowledge of that would ruin any validity of testing whether i liked blocks or this electronic gizmo (That was out of batteries) more, she said that no she just had some paperwork and this was normal. After the obvious test was over she took away the toy box and never did it see a toy box again except when I moved and they lost the paperwork and tested me for autism again THE EXACT SAME WAY.

I know thats not strictly relevant, but...
