: This quiz was taken several years ago, circa late 2014. My therapist referred me to a shrink specializing in adult autism, and he said in his professional opinion anyone in mental health who didn't notice it prior to my 44th years alive we "motherfucking blind". I went to see another, blind, and she took longer but came to the same conclusion. So I'd three independent, confirming dx'es. My neuros apologized because they'd seen the signs but didn't connect them.
@purrrism: If I'd not previously had neurological problems in the 1990s due to cryptococcal meningitis, I'd probably not've been approved by Medicare for the checking for it. They were iffy on getting the second opinion, and I paid for the third. (I wanted to be as sure as possible.)

Always a struggle, innit...
@purrrism: That is not unheard of, alas.

It's wonderful that you eventually got a diagnosis.
