    Not sure if I’d benefit from an autism diagnosis

    IMO, what’s important is not the diagnosis. Rather, it’s the coping mechanisms that you implement to help you live in society.

    But those steps can be learned without the diagnosis; medical help is just a big jump forward in learning what to do.

    Everyone has trouble with some things, be it neurotypicals, autists, ADHDers… and everyone has to learn how to live with themselves. Obviously it’s easier for some than for others, but it has to be done.
