So, recently I had the disgnoses. With the usual relief to understanding why iam the way i am and also feeling robbed, that if it were picked up on back in the day...
It is just a family member and a few others say, don't be ridiculous your not autistic, ocd maybe or paranoid but not autistic.
I then overthink this and get emotional.
The diagnoses finally helps me realise there is a reason for my dysfunction in my past etc and I know I can't change what people thought or think but why say it.
