Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Neurological exams usually cannot tell. Those are usually done to diagnose tourettes, seizures, Parkinson’s, 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 don’t 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.

I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at a very young age, so I don't really remember all of it.
@Katty 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.
