Hi All
I’m not sure if this is the right place for this question.
I have been considering seeking a diagnosis for autism for some time. In the past, friends and relatives have joked that I am autistic, and from looking into it myself, I accept that I probably do exhibit many of the traits.
I don’t feel I struggle enough in life that I need to be diagnosed, however this may be because I just don’t know life in any other way.
It would be useful to hear from those who have been diagnosed, what the practical benefits are of being diagnosed. How would it make my life better by knowing for sure? Likewise, what are the drawbacks of knowing?
Thank you
