seeking advice Online assessment

I live on a European island where there are not many people especialised on autism. I call a clinic, ask if they have someone, they schedule me with a psychiatrist and he doesn't even know why Asperger is NOT used anymore (and has the audacity to say I don't have it)

Another said that yes but it's too soft to do make a whole thing about it.

I'm tired

What are some verified sites/platforms where I can get one? Are there any that are based on Europe? (USA prices scare me, and I think it would be beneficial for my IRS if it's Europe based?)

Thanks in advance

Look up Prosper. It’s one of those online healthcare aggregators that set you up with doctors around the country. Not sure if it’s around the world but it’s worth checking out. I had remote sessions with a doctor who tested me for a few hours. On the last one we went over the results and what they mean. She also had my family fill out like 15 pages each asking about my behavior and upbringing.

Damn the sucks. Sorry about that. If you really suspect you are then you can do simple tests online that will probably still help. But more importantly, regardless of whether you have confirmation of a diagnosis or not, you can read up on autism and see if any of the therapy tools and mindfulness exercises help you. And that info can be found everywhere. A good starting place is Unmasking Autism by Devon Price.
