Self diagnosis is a complex issue. Talking about autism -self diagnosis would happen less if assessments were done in a more timely manner. A lot of people who think they may have it, and are due to be assessed, do a lot to makes sure they maximise the chance of a positive result. I went into the assessment thinking I might well have it but not being totally sure. I didn’t, as some do, write a ‘101 reasons I’m autistic’ type note for the assessor to read. Many talk about how they’ve successfully masked for many years. It’s seen as a 'badge of autistic honour '.
