i’m not really sure if i am autistic because i relate to a lot of the things i’ve learned about it and my therapist said she thinks i am. but i also don’t remember my childhood very well and some things im not sure i fully fit the criteria

unless you need accommodations that require a diagnosis, you can just do things that help autistic people and if they help you keep doing them.

yeah that’s fair and i have alrdy been doing some of the things a long time i just think i need an affirmative yes or no even if it is self diagnosis but also it might be important for work and things idk

totally understandable! i hope you can get testing done soon if that’s what you want. you can take tests on embrace-autism.org , thats how i self diagnosed. i call myself “self-suspected” autistic because self diagnosis is controversial
