Could I Have Autism Spectrum Disorder?

I don’t want to self diagnose but I’m 95% sure I have autism spectrum disorder. I won’t go too much into why but it would explain sooo much. I’ve always felt different and couldn’t put my finger on it but I think I’ve also adapted and don’t show symptoms I used to though there’s some other stuff that bothers me a lot. However I am female and autism is often missed or diagnosed late though multiple professionals have said they think I could have it (without me mentioning it or having thought of it much) without actually diagnosing me. I just feel nervous about my ability to function well in society and want help

It might be worth looking into if you can. Sometimes a self-diagnosis of autism is the beat you can do and that’s okay. I know that with all the different things I have and the fact that my mom has been pretty sure I am autistic since I was little, I have just carried on like I do. Being autistic can mean so many things, bit the most important one to figure out is how to be comfortable in your body, mind and whole self.
