do some research into it yourself first, imo i wouldn’t jump straight to an exam without researching the topic and closely examining how those may be in your life

look for psychiatrists or psychologists who specialize in diagnosing/treating autism and neurodivergence in your area. if they have experience diagnosing adults that’s preferable

does it bother you? if there things you think you’d benefit from in terms of therapy/medications/accommodations then totally seek it out, but otherwise it’s just a money sink.

the evaluations are very expensive, just as a fyi. but if you think it's worth it to get you resources than by all means go for it

i went on zocdoc. telehealth definitely isn’t nearly as helpful but will at least start your process. i actually started my process in person and transferred to a provider on zocdoc where we only connect thru video call. and i am omw to getting my autism & adhd formally documented bc of her 🙏🏻 the evaluation process has a general outline but it is definitely very unique for everyone. mine was done thru like diff ppl where i then showed all that where my new provider can give me that formal nod
