    I honestly wonder if i have ASD. Cuz there are quite a few more symptoms of ASD that I have. But my psychiatrist told me not to seek a formal diagnosis mostly cuz its so difficult to get in germany and it has more downs and ups for an adult.

      If you’re unsure about yourself and an official diagnostic would help you know, then id say go for it.

      If you know yourself, then an official paper won’t change you. It will only be useful for external recognition, and then that’s very dependent on the system in which you live.

      That being said, I’m just a person with no training on this topic. You should put your psychiatrist advice before mine!
