I’m really worried and am putting off approaching my GP for an assessment.
Does anyone have any tips on how to have this conversation as an adult female?
You should try to clarify WHY you want to have a diagnosis from an official channel.
it often isn’t helpful for high functioning autistic people
Functioning labels are very harmful
Why?
No no of course not, a diagnosis can be so so helpful.
Functioning labels, not so much!
Ah - I get it!
I misunderstood and thought you were indicating that diagnosis of autism was harmful rather than just the high/low sub-classification.
