How Can I Convince My Mom and Doctor to Let Me Get Tested for Autism?

My guardian said the same thing except for she wasn't a special teacher she was in med school I later got diagnosed the same year that I left her home it can be extremely difficult to get a diagnosis but definitely write down every single symptom and if they ask you if you like trains say yes even if you don't because it's not the real question there

Writing down notes and organizing your thoughts can help you convey your concerns to your doctor and shows that you’ve put in a lot of research and thought

To Daisy: I will definitely do some extra research, but that also leads to a problem: my mom thinks that I just "look too much into things" and it's because I have so much time alone to research and "convince myself I have something". But, the research can definitely help convince my doctor, who might be able to help convince my mom. Thank you <3

Feel free to contact me at any time.

I would research and find symptoms of autism in females because oftentimes social behaviors are different in individuals. For example i can communicate typically but i am still autistic. Also research self diagnosis i know accomodations can't occur with self diagnosis but it can help in the meantime.
