So, I’m really lucky in that I get private healthcare through work and this has just been extended to cover autism assessments (amongst others)
On one hand, I’ve sometimes wondered if I’m autistic. I struggle in social situations. I’ve also had feedback at work recently that could be attributed to autistic traits (that I’m too serious, not that it would affect my job. And a while ago we did mock interviews and I struggled with eye contact which was also negative feedback).
on the other hand, I feel like I would prefer not to know either way and that it wouldn’t actually change things if I was diagnosed
has anyone gone through autism diagnosis as an adult? What did the diagnosis process entail? Did it change anything post diagnosis?
thanks
