Hello, like others on here I have a late diagnosis of high functioning autism. I was masking the behaviours of my older brother throughout my childhood. I played football even though I wasn't very chatty. I graduated with a maths degree from University.

Now I work and have a family. My doctor has been reluctant to give me an autism test as I've led a fairly normal life. So I went private and yes it came back as I was on the spectrum. Do you think it is worth me telling the doctors, or will it just be more hassle? Thanks for your opinions.

    Welcome Slight smileIt’s worth telling the doctor in my opinion - they may or may not accept it as some NHS doctors (assuming you are in the UK) don’t accept the work of private practitioners - but it’s useful for them to have as much information on you as possible.
