How to talk to my doctor about suspected Autism?

@RissTheTiger im aussie and id recommend getting a mental health plan to start off probably, you get a certain number of free sessions with a therapist who may be able to help. i'm getting put on one (it was suggested by the doctor when i went for pain 🙄) so i'll lyk how it goes i guess? he did make notes about poor eye contact and ask me about my social life even without me mentioning autism so i assume thats the direction hes going in

@RissTheTiger ok, just go to your GP and express concerns, they're probably going to refer you to a psychologist. This is pretty expensive though so if you have good private health cover or parents who are willing to pay it's not a great financial experience. If you're wanting to earn properly medicated I would try anxiety medications first but if it's for a better understanding of yourself and what you might have I'd contact headspace. If it's something you'd really want to doi hope you have the money to pursue it, not a lot of people do at the moment
