Posts like this make me think I'm autistic but I think I'm too old to get tested. I don't really care anyway. I'm probably "high functioning" enough.
This is not exclusive to autistic people at all.
I'm in camp "not diagnosed but something ain't braining."
I'm right there with you, but what would be the point of acquiring the label be, too?
I mean, I've made it this far without the label.
Accommodations, closure, and validation. I didn't bother getting one myself. But it can get you things like being allowed to use earmuffs at work or extra time in exams
