Hello! I wanted to ask about autism, specifically autism in adults. I am a 21 year old adult, and I have a confirmed anxiety disorder. I did research and looked up information on autism after hearing some of the possible symptoms from someone online, and realizing that some of them I felt applied to me. I did More research and I feel there may be a high possibility that I am on the autism spectrum. And because of this, I wish to seek a medical professional to possibly diagnose wether or not I truly have it. However...I have no idea how to go about this or start. Is there a specific kind of therapist or psychiatrist I’m supposed to seek out to get a diagnosis on specifically autism in adults? I’m not really sure where to start.
