Hiii I suspect I'm autistic
I only attract friends that are autistic diagnosed by professionals. I'm kind of scared to get diagnosed because I feel it will limit what I can do in life and I wish to pursue a lot. I just need help navigating autism.

Hi there. Thanks for reaching out.
Whilst it’s your decision on whether to pursue a diagnosis or not, I do understand your apprehension. If you did decide it’s what you wanted to do, then it could help you understand yourself more and open doors to receiving support.
Perhaps a chat with your friends could help you come to a decision. This is your journey and I wish you the best 🌹
Apologies for the late response. I get that it's just in my family it's kinda stigmatized.
I have the same fears being an adult and thinking it’s a possibility. I see it at ways we can learn to navigate doing things more authentically and with more creativity.
In a lot of situations like with education I feel it will limit you.
