How the hell did ya'll get a diagnose? (question)

Wazup,

so actuall question to people with ADHD, Autism or any other mental disorder, how did ya'll get your diagnose? I am especially cursious with people, wo had to go to the doctor themself to get diagnosed. When did you realize it? Where exactly did you go to get your diagnose?

Ya'll can write your stories in the comment (if you wanna. No pressure.)

With love
Momo

I was officially diagnosed with ASD in 2020. My diagnosis came from a very rough bout of depression that landed me in an intensive outpatient program. The psychiatrist was keen enough to notice peculiar patterns in my behavior and suggested I might be autistic. I didn’t even consider myself as autistic before then.
I suppose it helped that I didn’t assume anything, I simply stated the symptoms and my life story. Sometimes it works out that way, but I acknowledge that my scenario was *very* lucky.

I should clarify - the psychiatrist at the outpatient program misdiagnosed me. It took another one from a separate company to diagnose me.
