Discussion should i get my autism officially & formally diagnosed?

[bbwqs_v]

i tick all boxes, criteria, and symptoms for autism, it's mild and i am able to function and live normally, but i am seriously hindered socially. my friends & family acknowledge i'm autistic although i doubt they fully understand the extent to which it affects my life. my autism has profoundly affected my ability to socialise and make new friends, forget romantic relationships (face & height can't even make it despite exhausting all efforts & trying, 30+ women approach, dating apps, gym to leanmax & have the female gaze physique, even landwhales don't want me).

will getting a formal official diagnosis on paper that i actually have autism be of any benefit to me? there is no neetbux disability money here for it. the most frustrating part is i am functional for daily life, but i am significantly affected socially, it's like i'm in a grey area where i'm affected by autism but not enough so that people acknowledge it. do you get what i mean? it's not like i'm severely disabled, but i struggle immensely in socialising with neurotypical people.

any advice or thoughts?

if you can, yeah. but where I live all the retarded parents take their 3 year old kid for a check because they're scared so you can't even get checked as an adult because it's all flooded with them

Yes, you can fall back on the diagnosis in things such as employer disputes.

It might at least protect your job if a cunt were to try to file false claims against you

If it's free go for it, otherwise not. If other autistic people would call you autistic it's pretty much confirmed, we have a really good autist compass. Takes one to know one ig

no i have to pay like 100-200 usd for psychological testing which is why i'm considering it. the only reason i would ever imagine getting an official diagnosis is so i have more credibility when i bring up my autism with people. often times, they don't believe me coz lots of retards self diagnose themselves with anything these days. but at the end of the day, it woudn't change a thing.

i'm 20 and just about to start college, i dropped out twice previously. i don't think i'll work anytime soon, so there isn't a strong enough reason to get a diagnosis.

get diagnosed and use it for what its worth

but it's not really worth anything? i'm visibly functional enough for most normal people things but invisibly socially non-functional.

i guess it depends on where you are in the world, but you should be able to get some more support

im in SEA and the last i checked, there's no support because i'm not actually severely disabled to the point where i can't do manual labour or fast food chain work, i'm just socially disabled.

College may give you allowances too like extra exam time and a helper if you want it.

Only if you get money from it.

spend 100-200 dollars to get bullied for being autistic, it's good they don't believe you, save your pride
