@naga@octodon.social if you don't get a diagnosis as a kids its very hard to get it as an adult. which is my case.

I have a degree in psychology, so my psychiatrist straight up says to me she doesn't think I'm autistic but because I know the criteria for many abnormal psychopathology I'm seeing those autistic traits in myself and basically blowing it out of proportion.

But for example I also know the criteria for different personality disorders and I'm not going around convinced I'm a malignant narcissist or catatonic schizophrenia.

So I've just had to come into my own acceptance.
