Does anyone know if I can get a formal autism assessment without actually getting an official diagnosis (if they find that I do actually have it)? I’m pretty sure I’m autistic but I would like to know for certain that I’m not just making it up but I don’t want a formal diagnosis because of the issues that it can cause. Any advice would be appreciated!
One user mentioned that "unless you are in need of medication for anxiety or such, there really is no need to get diagnosed as an adult. And even then, most doctors will treat the symptoms without a diagnosis." However, it's important to consult with a professional if you have concerns about your mental health.
