      omg, right?! I found out as an adult not too long ago. Initially, I was told by two friends that are both psychologists and had known me for over 5 years that I was autistic. I completed a bunch of online assessments that all found there was a strong probability that I am autistic. After that, I went and got a thorough 3-4 hour assessment completed by a psychologist whose sole job is to test for autism, and was directly told halfway through the assessment that I was surely autistic. I still didn’t believe it for maybe a month. Now, I’m 100% convinced, but that acceptance takes a while sometimes.
