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

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.

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).
