    Have you been screened for diagnosis? Because if not, there’s not a great way to tell you aren’t autistic. Autism occurs in even the most functional people and masking is a skill many autistic people develop to fit in without realizing they are doing it.

      I don’t see a reason to go for a screening without evidence to indicate I might be autistic. It may cost money to get screened, and what’s the point in getting a diagnosis even if I am autistic?

        Your insurance might double in price, and some people/companies/countries might do profiling. Meaning that you will be limited if you ever want to relocate in the future.

        If you love your life too much you could give it a shot.
