I had a doc tell me he’s not going to get me tested after I asked for it. He said that useful for children, but for adults it’s more nuanced. For some adults, it just creates a label that’s not really all that useful, and any therapist you see after getting that label has to fight against assumptions of what is and isn’t worth addressing.
I never got tested. But there’s a social conscensus that I’m autistic AF.
