Realizing I Might Have Autism: Seeking Advice

I had been diagnosed with autism in 2005, ADHD in 2013, and two other diagnoses for bipolar and anxiety disorders. It's been a bumpy ride with autism for me because when I was little, I had major meltdowns like all the time. Some got pretty serious. I even have meltdowns sometimes now, but not as often, and I'm 20 years old. They can get very serious. And thanks to the stupid school district and special education folks in elementary and middle school, I had absolutely no help in school and my meltdowns. I switched schools my freshman year of high school because it's like, "You know what? Screw you. You said you would help us, and you did a polar opposite, so screw you." I don't want to have to type too long of a paragraph, but I could go on and on about how miserable my childhood was. My parents said they tried to get me help, and the school I went to elementary school in said they would help me with anything, and they did a polar opposite of what they said. They had some pretty horrible things to get me to calm down when I was having a meltdown. In second grade, I had a lot of meltdowns and when I got violent in my meltdowns in school, they took one of these (supposed to be soft) mats and pressed me up against a wall with one of those to stop me from getting at them and getting violent with them. Like I said, I could go on and on. But long story short, I went to a different district for high school, my parents told THEM I needed help, and they actually DID follow it! In fact, they went further than that! The superintendent that was there had a thought to himself as being a superintendent that was, "Put the kids first, before the education. The education is important, but the kids come first." Smartest move my parents and I had ever made in my lifetime! I then graduated from school there with some friends I will never forget ever! (The other district had fake friends that won't even spit in my direction anymore, and I won't do it to them either.)

I was just diagnosed in December for Autism and this year for ADHD. They usually go hand in hand.
