I’m wondering what other people’s experiences were like.
I called a number of psychiatrists who specialized in ASD when I started to have questions, but none of them were focused on adult diagnosis or therapy. The first psychologist I saw didn’t think she was qualified to make a diagnosis in adults, and referred me to another who I had to pay out of pocket because he didn’t accept my insurance. It left a bad taste for me because it felt like there is a scarcity of resources available for adults.
I talked to my therapist, and she referred me to a doctor in her clinic who specializes in educational neuropsychology. I know I’m lucky to have been able to see someone so easily, and my diagnosis was pretty quick.
