It's one of the reasons I haven't considered getting an autism diagnosis. I'm pretty sure I have it, but even talking with the doctor I get my ADHD medication from she agreed that while it can be helpful to "know", there isn't much else outside of that.
It's not like my ADHD where I can get a prescription that helps me manage the symptoms. If I just work on the assumption I have it and use that to process things and know when I'm getting overwhelmed and how to deal with it, and also stop masking all the time, then I get the same benefit that I would from an official diagnosis without opening myself up to more discrimination or fascist targeting.
Between being queer and having ADHD I already have enough things they want to throw me into gas chambers for.
