  • I’m curious, why is it so important for some people to get a diagnosis? Does it unlock access to medication or treatment that they want? Or is it just the knowing?

    I’m fairly certain I’m Autistic, and I’ve had two unrelated doctors (not qualified to make the assessment) accidentally assume that I knew and had already been diagnosed, but I’ve never had a formal diagnosis. I’m not really too fussed about getting one, because it wouldn’t really change the way I live my life.
