I know a few people on the suspectrum, and it's fine as long as you don't try and claim that you most definitely have the thing and that your self diagnosis is valid/means you should have access to healthcare/etc.

Thanks, I appreciate your perspective, and I'm glad to hear that I've been handling the communication aspect of it properly - I've never used my suspicion as an excuse or justification of anything, so far I have just told a few trusted people that I suspect I have it, basically like I said here.

I have experienced several financial rough patches in the past year (job loss due to my employer shutting down, for example), but now that things have seemingly stabilized, I hope to begin pursuing a formal diagnosis soon, and I look forward to doing so! Thanks again.

Best of luck getting diagnosed! I know in a lot of places it can be tricky. For me my GP did it for my ADHD, apparently it was that clear and obvious.
