Seeking advice on getting an ASD diagnosis

A therapist, PCP or psychiatrist may be able to help you get a referral. If not you can Google "adult autism testing near me" or something similar. This is what I did. In my experience, therapists and doctors (even my previous psychiatrist) don't know much about it so I had to find resources on my own.

I talked with my primary doctor about my traits and he gave me a referral, but the thing is he didn’t think/help me because he said he doesn’t think I’m autistic but ever since I was young I had autism traits. My parents are going to find another doctor that wants to find the problem not ignore/overlook my concerns.

Same. Lots of thinking back to how I was when I was younger and connecting the dots of me not just being a "weird" kid but an autistic kid.

I’ve been having a really hard time finding testing resources. And it’s very discouraging and uncomfortable to make the Calls and ask about it for them to be like - ok sure how old is your child? And I’m like—— it’s for myself actually…..no help yet.

i talked to my therapist about it and she set me up an appointment to get a full psych evaluation. you could also talk to your primary care physician abt it
