Don't the fallout games have more satire of anti-communism than they are seriously anti-communist themselves?

The other comments have covered a lot of the potential positives of a getting a diagnosis. Here's an article written by an autistic doctor on some of the drawbacks:

In short, there's a lot of ableism, so it's important to think about what benefits you will personally receive from a formal diagnosis.

I'm not trying to dissuade you from getting one if it's something that you want to do you should go for it. I just wanted to share some info that made me think getting a formal diagnosis wasn't right for me.

You're right that continuing to tip won't change the system. I don't know what the solution is but I feel like it will come out of solidarity with tipped workers rather than withholding the money that they need to survive. Their bosses don't care if they get tips or not. Maybe it will come from the workers organizing a union and make getting rid of tipping one of their demands

I agree with you that waiters should be paid a living wage directly by the business owners instead of getting most of their pay from tips. That way they aren't relying on the whims of the customers to support themselves.

That said, I still tip because they rely on it. Should the system change? 100%. But that change has to come about in a way that doesn't harm the people you want to help
