Should I bother getting professionally tested?

Hello everyone. Growing up I was in a special education class pretty much all through school (4th grade on). I had learning disabilities and social difficulties (still do). I was never actually diagnosed with anything. I just accepted it for what it was and never looked into it untill recently. I went over my symptoms then looked into autism and noticed quite a few similarities. I took a few of the tests online and my results said I was on the spectrum and that I have at least half the symptoms on the test and to consult a physician.

I'm 31 now and I'm not sure how getting a professional diagnosis will help me at this stage in life other than closure I guess.

What are your thoughts?

Edit: Thank you everyone for your responses I really appreciate it! I will look into getting a professional diagnosis.

Realizing my own creeper vibes turned to perpetual avoidance from dating
  • You and I are in a similar boat. I'm 31 as well and I fell head over heels for my best friends cousin 11 years ago. Due to long distance we couldn't be together, but I didn't want to give up that easily. Long story short I haven't spoken or seen her in 7 years, but shes on my mind 24/7 and I can't shake her out.

    I haven't really tried dating since. Mostly because of self-esteem issues and trust issues and thinking that every woman can do better and not waste their time and effort me.

    Sorry for the small rant. I just wanted to say you're not alone and you can get through it!

  • Stand up
  • I never understood going on my phone while pooping. It's just inconsiderate to the other people in your house or ar work that are waiting for you to get out because they also have to go.

  • Does the Lemmy mouse have a name?

    I keep getting the Error "couldn't_get_comments". I'm unable to read any comments or discussion posts.

    Pretty much what the title says.
