If you don’t need accommodation, for your own safety wait until this administration is out of office

My pcp agrees I’m probably autistic but I haven’t gotten a formal diagnosis bc I am currently able to get the accommodations I need through my adhd diagnosis, I can’t afford the eval, and I’m worried about having the diagnosis with everything going on rn. If the diagnosis would provide things you need but currently can’t get (like accommodations) then I’d go for it but otherwise I’d wait

Do you think that you’re autistic??? Do you feel like a diagnosis would radically change things for you? Do you feel like your life is really impacted by (potentially) being autistic? I ended up getting diagnosed bc I couldn’t function without accommodations anymore. I think given the current EVERYTHING it’s not a great idea to get diagnosed unless you feel like you need it. It could be good to see a therapist that could help give you an idea of what’s going on without an official diagnosis
