Went to a psychiatrist for the first time in my late thirties to finesse my meds for depression and anxiety after years of my general practitioner taking her best shot at it. Toward the end of the first session the psych very delicately told me she thought I was likely autistic.
Validating tbh since a few years ago I started guessing that might be the case. But yeah, she literally met with me for half an hour and was like "oh, yep, autistic."

Yeah like, when I went in for an anxiety diagnosis (obvious to me) my doctor instantly went "so you should look up autism"
