I don’t know if I’m more scared of having autism or not having if.

Thank you for the reassurance. I’m 35 myself. I just have a lot of anxiety speaking with people, especially for the amount of time this process will take.

It long and grueling, but I’ve done it. It’s not official, but she said she’s leaning towards me being autistic. My history is overwhelmingly typical for it

The psychologist that did my evaluation said after half an hour: “Ok, theoretically I could stop here. You are autistic. But lets finish the tests just to be thorough.” She told me that off cause that was a joke but she was already reasonably sure.
