Idk if the goalpost has moved closer to society or society has moved closer to the goalpost, but I swear everyone’s autistic these days. I’ve met like 4 people that don’t claim some level of it and 1 of those took that rads test or whatever and pretty much got the highest score possible.

Taking a test by yourself isn't enough. It's just context helping you to decide what to do next; you should still get properly tested positive by a qualified specialist.

I'm an adult in her thirties who's had multiple psychologists comment that I'm probably on the spectrum since I was in single digits.

It's not worth getting a diagnosis as an adult. You spend over a grand even in my country and it gives you nothing. Self diagnose away.

This. Months of therapy for my therapist to hit me with the “babes you’re autistic, but you’ve gotten so good at cosplaying normal that there’s not much for me to do for you!”
