    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.

      Thanks!

      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!

        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.
