I’m wondering what other people’s experiences were like.

I called a number of psychiatrists who specialized in ASD when I started to have questions, but none of them were focused on adult diagnosis or therapy. The first psychologist I saw didn’t think she was qualified to make a diagnosis in adults, and referred me to another who I had to pay out of pocket because he didn’t accept my insurance. It left a bad taste for me because it felt like there is a scarcity of resources available for adults.

    Where I live, adult diagnosis’ start in the thousands, never mind the constant therapy sessions afterwards that aren’t covered.

    It’s too expensive to be officially diagnosed …
