I’m in the US. Not a formal diagnosis, but tested on embrace autism, and a few other sites. I’m the multiple retakes I get very close to the same results.
I’ve talked with my wife (surprising to her the many things I do and things that she had no idea about) and son, and I’ve talked with a counselor (going regularly now).
For me, I don’t see the value of a neuro psych eval.
I didn’t consider that I am on the spectrum until my son and then wife told me I could be. That started my investigation.
I also don’t have obvious outward characteristics, but I’ve been hiding it since I was in 3rd grade. Lots of things on my head and concealed.
60! Just now talking the time to figure out what it all means.
Nice and congrats!
May I ask on which country? I’m currently trying to get diagnosed in Germany and its really impossible so far.

I always thought I was different and struggling in waves so to say without being able to pinpoint the issue - but I excel at analyzing things.
The cliche held me from considering autism, which is different now and explains everything left over or a few contradictions. Wishing you the best!

The stereotypical German acts autistic (humorless, ruthlessly efficient, blunt), so I’m not surprised you’re having difficulty!
It isn’t, indeed! Everything about my life is unusual in the big picture, I am a very untypical German for too many factual reasons to list here.
