Seeking Resources for Autism Diagnosis

Hi, so I’m pretty sure I’m on the autism spectrum. Like 90% sure. I’ve done a lot of research and I see my current and younger self in so many of the traits. My therapist doesn’t believe me and that felt so awful to hear. I’ve been feeling pretty discouraged from going on to getting a diagnosis or talking about it with my psychiatrist. So, I was wondering if anyone knew of some resources for me to bring with me. I know online tests are obviously not very accurate, but I was wondering if there was any sort of checklist for diagnosis that I could access and use as taking points. I would also be very happy to hear about anyone’s similar experiences and how they felt with this. Thanks :)

Toe and Foot Anxiety: Anyone Else?

This is a strange question. Does anyone ever experience toe or foot anxiety? It sounds weird, I'm aware. Idk if I can explain well. For the record, one of my stims is cracking my toes/fingers. Obsessively. ADHD & OCD are not friends and they like to gang up on me sometimes more often than not. Like when you have shoes on and then you are very aware the space in your shoe is small and then your toes/feet start to feel claustrophobic? And then all of a sudden you have a wave of panic. Like if I don't get my shoes off and have full motion of my toes, I'm going to crawl out of my skin. What the heck I'm I supposed to do! Like I need my toes to have complete range of motion and my toes spread completely out and able to be cracked or whole or help the eclipse. Or I feel like my toes are too close to each other, like family her. sure so are others obv and again it's the small space. They're toes so it logically doesn't makes sense and I know they're not. But man. Panic and mad anxiety and the I so plan (under my mom's dinner, request). Do you have money. Does anybody have anything remotely similar on any part of the bottom or clothes. Or any issues. Weird I know. Stupid feet!
