Hi I think I may be autistic and am considering trying to get a diagnosis, but I am worried about the negative implications there might be for getting a positive diagnosis and wondering how i might be able to avoid them.
I've read that in some cases it might be harder or more expensive to get insurance and that is something I would really rather avoid.
Another really big concern is that if i were ever to separate from my partner it could impact the custody of my child, right now i am very much the primary parent.
I can potentially self fund the diagnosis so it wouldn't necessarily need to be in my nhs records, but it is something I would want to be fairly open and honest about and not keep secret.
