I want to get an autism diagnosis but my parents are extremely unsupportive. Does anyone know what I can do?

are you on their insurance? because if not then all you need to do is meet with a psychiatrist or testing center. if you are on their insurance then you can call the insurance and ask what privacy you're afforded and what the account holder is told about your activities. if the insurance doesn't provide privacy then you're probably going to have to go out of pocket. or your school may have an on staff psychiatrist which should be free or not cost much

also some doctors are able to provide a diagnosis! so you can also just meet with your regular doctor and ask if they are able to do that

Thank you so much!! They got the bill when I was diagnosed with depression and found out that way, so I really appreciate you for letting me know there are other options
