Me: I want specific instructions on how an adult in my country can get an official autism diagnosis

Google: here's 30 articles on the definition of autism and 30 more by parents complaining about having to raise autistic children

#the last time I spoke to a gp (a horribly dismissive woman who more or less laughed at my chronic pain issues) about being autistic #she referred me to a private organisation that said they'd charge 2 grand for the service #that organisation no longer offers diagnostic services so I tried to look for others #and I can't find a damn thing #''but why is everyone self diagnosing these days'' because professional diagnosis is utterly inaccessible! #best case scenario I find somewhere that will and I'll still be waiting a year or more! #guess I'll just stick with my 204 score on the RAADS R test
