How can I get tested for autism?

What should i do to see about getting tested fir autism? I have done a ton of research and the more i look up the more it makes sense. I am hoping to get tested but idk how i can go about it as i have a tendency to mask synptoms infront of doctors as they give me a lot of anxiety and I've been ignored by them a lot.

I got diagnosed, they have you fill out a booklet about symptoms that you have.

You ask your doctor to refer you to the correct person for diagnosis. How they do it depends on your age and where you live. I didn't fill out anything!

Near me, there was only 1 option for places that diagnoses adults w autism. My appointment is coming up in 3 weeks I’ll lyk how it goes

Your primary care doctor should be able to give you a referral 🙂

I am having a similar thought at the moment and I'm leaning towards yes. With a diagnosis I can get aids/support plans in school/uni and work and overall feel more understood. But it's to each their own - it's whatever you are comfortable with!

that is exactly why I am wanting to get diagnosed.
