I’ve been considering the possibility that I could have aspergers for some time now. After learning and doing research a lot of the traits felt very familiar. I’ve even taken several of the online test and they all suggest I may have aspergers. I talked to my mom about it she agrees that it would explain a lot of things in my life and makes a lot of sense to her as well. I felt a sense of relief at first but then the question of getting a real diagnosis got to me a bit. I would only want it official as a confirmation. Is an official diagnosis necessary even though I believe it to be true? I go back and forth on wether it is especially since there doesn’t seem to be a standard form of assessment and it being even harder for adult females. I went from thinking “finally an answer” to “what if it’s not true and I still have no explanation”. There is also an issue of not having the resources where I live so it would be hard to find someone to assess me. So I guess I’m asking should I be ok with my own evaluation and except not getting the confirmation? I’m just a little lost here.
