ive been speculating that im on the autism spectrum for a little over 6-7 months now, my younger brother and step dad are diagnosed, but everytime i bring it up with my family (4 siblings i live with and mom and dad) i always get shit for it because they don't believe me or even listen to why. i know its not always great to self diagnose but ive done a lot of research and have tied it to a lot of stuff in my childhood (and behaviours now) but everyone i brought it up to has told me no, i even asked my therapist and he dismissed it really quickly. i just want someone to tell me im not crazy for speculating

Ah! I've been realizing lately that I am in a similar boat. I agree that self diagnosis isn't good but it isn't bad of you to speculate at all. Realizing that it's a spectrum rather than a "yes" or "no" answer helped me to acknowledge that there's a strong chance I fall on that grid. Anyways - I'm sorry they're all being so dismissive
