- I had my formal autism diagnosis evaluation last year at age 40, and in this video I talk about how I selected my clinician, my preparation for the assessment, and the in-person assessment itself.

Thank you so much for talking about this! I am currently waiting to get assessed for autism and ADHD in September, and hoping that it helps. I've sort of known I was probably autistic for several years now, but wanting to get assessed finally. It's a little nerve racking.
I totally get it. I hope all goes well and you get the answers you're looking for!
Hey, loved this video. I would love another one on your childhood as an autistic person.
Cool, thank you! That will definitely be on the list.
I got my autism diagnosis back in 2008 with a very grim prognosis but I guess the diagnostic process is alot better for folks these days which is good to know. Still a shame there's no support out there for autistic adults though and the older you are the more isolating it becomes
I think it varies pretty considerably but at least there are probably a lot more options for neurodivergence-affirming clinicians out there today. I hope in time more support for adults will become a thing, but yeah, as of right now there's not much outside of peer support.
@@CelesteM Peer support doesn't exist for many atleast ... xD You're lucky to atleast have some friends in life when many are so isolated
@@OtakuGunsoNY there's a lot online which is more where I've found community!
@@CelesteM Online is mostly all I have as well xD
I got my autism diagnose at 27 in the month june on 6 2022 And i am transman. I knew it was autism 5 years ago but now that it is official i have to procces it still.
You look much younger but i bet you hear that alot.
I also look young for my age
Isnt that a thing with people who have autism?
I've heard looking younger is common for both autistic and trans people so that makes sense!
have you died
Haha, what?
@@CelesteM yeah, cuz y had unt uploaded in months, do a video of something that maybe people want you do like, play video games on pc, stuff like that, bro, i don't know, if you want me to call yu that, cuz your trans, i think..
@@cartooncatalysts they donât owe you videos wtf â ïž they are literally talking about autistic burnout in this video which can seriously hinder someoneâs ability to make, edit, and post videos
@@sxphinx There are so many `trans influencers` who do this...don`t upload or contact for months. The sector is pretty much dead, and then trans people complain about having no voice. Just a quick note, comment, or update. What`s so hard about that? It`s the rudest part of YT when it comes to content creators treatment of commenters and their hard-won subs.
@@sxphinx i'm sorry not leave the f**k of me alone
