Hi, I am pretty sure I am autistic however I am wondering the correct way to go about getting a formal diagnosis. I've done a lot of research and I identify a lot with female profiles of Autism however I know it is very hard for women to get a diagnosis as they often lack some of the more typical 'masculine' traits so many things are overlooked. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a service or doctor or someone in the North West, or further if necessary, that has a good record of dealing with autistic women? I'm worried about paying and going through the entire process just to be misunderstood. I am currently waiting for NHS appointment but who knows how long that will take.
Thanks!
