I had to switch psychiatrists because mine has been out since November and no one knows when he'll be back. I'm currently on a waiting list to meet with a new one. I'm thinking about asking to be tested for autism because I experience some symptoms of it and my brother (a nurse) told me it's very possible that I'm autistic. I hate eye contact, I stim constantly, I have a hard time reading people's intentions via their tone. should I ask to get tested or is it all in my head? (I'm 20 if that matters)

I'm afab but I've been on t for over a year, would that change anything?
Its a generic paper form in most cases. Sometimes on the computer. But most tests are designed for boys. So if you happen to be female, it may not diagnose correctly. I can see if i can find the one test thats becoming more mainstream now, i can send it to you (they have an online one you can take before you go in and it guves a comprehensive result page, it lets you either send it to the psych office or print to take with you)
kitkat do you know what the testing is like by any chance?
