Seeking Advice on Possible Autism Diagnosis

I'm 21 and in a similar boat. I would advise you to maybe outright say you think you have autism to your therapist instead of seeing if they catch onto signs. I've had three three therapists and none of them have ever mentioned if I show signs (Ionly learned I'm autistic at 20 and saw my therapists before then) if you fear it won't go well, you might need a different therapist to feel more comfortable

My family calls me a child when I am 20 and the love throwing this sentience in my face every time I want to hang out with the adults they would say. "You can't be with the adults because you are basically autistic which makes you childish."

I am 17 and my mom and I have been talking about the possibility for the both of us of having autism. Right now I don’t have plans of going through an official diagnosis or even talking about it with anyone else besides my mom in my family or even my friends. I did notice a lot of things similar to autism that I had in my childhood. I may not be very helpful in the matter, but a lot of people in the community don’t get official diagnosis either, I have some instagram pages of people with autism that I know of if you’d like me to send you to those? They talk a lot about stims and self diagnosis and stigmatism around autism.
