Ah okay! Goodluck with your autism diagnosis and I hope that they don't misdiagnose you (hoping they do actually know what autism is like lol).

I’m actually in the process of being put on a list to be diagnosed, but it also said you could put when the symptoms of this started showing. Everyone around me is convinced I have it, even others with it.

I heard that there are way more girls with ASD that get misdiagnosed with OCD, bipolar, etc. than actually etting diagnosed as autistic. Honestly I was an extremely lucky one (diagnosed at 2 1/2 years), but I did hear stuff about how some girls were literally diagnosed at like 30 only because of how they were heavily mistaken for other conditions
