How can I get tested for autism?

What should i do to see about getting tested fir autism? I have done a ton of research and the more i look up the more it makes sense. I am hoping to get tested but idk how i can go about it as i have a tendency to mask synptoms infront of doctors as they give me a lot of anxiety and I've been ignored by them a lot.

I am having a similar thought at the moment and I'm leaning towards yes. With a diagnosis I can get aids/support plans in school/uni and work and overall feel more understood. But it's to each their own - it's whatever you are comfortable with!

Your primary care doctor should be able to give you a referral 🙂

You ask your doctor to refer you to the correct person for diagnosis. How they do it depends on your age and where you live. I didn't fill out anything!

I honestly got diagnosed a different way but for anxiety I had to take a rest maybe it's the same

I got diagnosed, they have you fill out a booklet about symptoms that you have.
