Like over three years but that’s because my parents tried to prevent me from seeking any healthcare and then my insurance was fucked up and then every Dr who could screen it had a huge waiting list and still wasn’t covered so it’d be like $2k out of pocket

Was a little different for me, I was in therapy for depression, anxiety, whatever, and my therapist was like “have you ever considered you might be autistic?” And I told her “no, never, my brother’s autistic. I’m not autistic.” Anyway it’s probs been a little over a year since then and I got diagnosed a few weeks ago

In my situation, I was already in therapy, but my therapist told me she thought I might have OCD and then I went to my psychiatrist like a week later and was diagnosed. However, I’ve had OCD for more than a decade at this point and only got diagnosed a few years ago.
