yes, followed by CBT. it helped me understand a lot of things i felt ashamed for were due to my neurodevelopmental disorder, so most of those things were literally just me, if that makes sense (obviously not including things that could possibly hurt the feelings of others, which is why i recommend CBT). check out prosperhealth (not an ad i just found this super easy to access with a busy schedule). i wish you the best in whatever you decide to do. good luck!

I think therapy is most effective first. And then they can help you get diagnosed or figure out a way to live life a little better
