i am 10/10 convinced i have autisim, i had an autistic friend tell me i'm "worse" than him, i fit into most traits/symptoms, and i feel like it makes the most sense for me. should i do something? my worst fear is asking my psych and she completely disagrees.

      If you want to get tested, you should, but you don't have to! Unfortunately, with women, diagnosis is more uncommon because most doctors won't take it seriously if it's a woman

      I had this fear too. If there are accommodations for you if you were diagnosed or if closure means a lot to you then I would consider asking about it. I really wanted closure so I did it. Maybe ask her if she specializes in autism?
