Looks up the DSM-5 for autism spectrum disorder! The DSM-5 is what diagnosticians use to diagnose autism, so that is a really good guide if you are able to interpret what the words mean (it is complicated). Also, there are YouTube videos explaining what the DSM-5 for autism means so that can help!

Usually autism and ADHD look different on the inside. If you relate to autistic people, I'd definitely look into it more!
Message me and I can help! I was originally just diagnosed with adhd and it was hard to get diagnosed with autism, especially as a woman

Look up sites listing symptoms! Just avoid ones targeted towards autism moms, use of the puzzle piece and terms like high functioning/low functioning and the word special needs :)
