I’ve always been different, but could never quite put my finger on it. Is there any surefire way to get a diagnosis? So many of the memes here (and from icky reddit) seem to hit home and be relatable. Sometimes it seems like autism could be some sort of explanation for all the years of my differences compared to most people I have encountered.

Is there easy ways to diagnose, or is it more subjective than that? Can genetic testing offer any insight? Do I need a specialist? Is there anything that I could really do if I was diagnosed?

    That depends on where you live. In Germany afaik you can get diagnosed either by a specialist, but have to pay for it yourself, or at an autism centre, where it’s hard to get a place, but you don’t have to pay for it.
