I have adhd and my friends therapist and I think I am also autistic. Autism also is in my family as some of my siblings have it. I have a lot of the symptoms and have been doing my own research as well as taking tests recognized as being formed with the dsm 5 and everything points to me being autistic. My therapist keeps saying I should talk to my parents but I have talked to them about stuff like this before and they haven't done anything to follow up with it. Does anyone have any advice of what steps I should take next,

Hey everyone! My advice (I am now on the waitlist for testing for autism) is to have a trusted adult talk to your guardian with you. Also do a lot of research and come up with a list of symptoms that you have. Adults like data! My parents were really against the idea of me being autistic (my dad still is) but my counsellor was kind of the go-between, and helped me advocate for myself. Hope that helps! Best wishes to everyone❤️
