i really wish i could help, i really hope someone can š i have mine scheduled in may- iāve been told by so many doctors that i am but weāve been on the waitlist for over a year to get a neuro exam. i hope the best for you !
Neurological exams usually cannot tell. Those are usually done to diagnose tourettes, seizures, Parkinsonās, or other neurological disorders.
Autism is a Neurodevelopmental disorder and as such is usually diagnosed by neuropsychologists or sometimes other psychologists.
I was diagnosed by a neuropsych. It cost $5,000 and a 9mo wait. I donāt recommend doing an official diagnosis unless you need the accommodations or assurance. If you do proper research on autism and the community makes you feel understood/supported, you can just self-diagnose.
Same, I had a three month wait to see a neuropsychiatrist and it was like 15k (w/o insurance). Most of their diagnosis was based off a pdf of all the experiences that made me consider myself autistic, so sdx is usually correct and valid.
