Question for anyone diagnosed with autism in the UK?
I want to try and get diagnosed. I as well as all of my friends have thought for a number of years that I am on the autistic spectrum but I think this will be very difficult because I have low support needs and I do well academically. I do have several close family members who are neurodivergent (including autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia and ASD). It may be worth noting that all of these family members are men, I am a woman which I know can also make getting diagnosed more difficult.
If you are academically intelligent and have low support needs how did you get diagnosed? And do you have any advice?
I will also mention that two of the friends that firmly believe that I am autistic are diagnosed.
