Hello! I was recently, within the last couple of days, told by my therapist that she suspects I may be autistic. I am a 21-year-old female in college, and for context, I was in therapy for a high level of anxiety. I have never considered this possibility, but in speaking with her and doing my own research, things sort of clicked. I am struggling with what to do next. I'm debating moving forward with getting a diagnosis. Does anyone have some pros and cons of diagnosis? Part of me wants to know for sure, but another part of me thinks it shouldn't matter. Any thoughts or help is welcome! Thank you!
