How did you get the diagnosis? I’ve been told by my beginning neurologist that I am on the spectrum. Im just higher functioning and I fear daily. That just means I get to struggle more every day just to feel “Normal “

therapist, also talked a bit with a psychiatrist. mainly went over the criteria and talked about past shit. long story, but autism was missed in the past due to masking + it’s harder to diagnose in level 1 folks with high IQs
