I went to my therapist to follow up on the ADHD assessment I found from when I was a kid and she screened for ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. When she understood where I was with those she suspected autism and because she understands the political climate around autism we went through the assessment without documentation because this "autism registry" shit is scary and I don't need accomodations right now
