On the other hand, most people who ended up getting a diagnosis for some form of neurodivergence had suspicions themselves before specifically asking to get tested. In my experience, medical professionals really are not looking out for stuff as much as they should.
I myself ended up getting a diagnosis as an adult after my own insistence at getting tested, despite how obvious it was my whole life.
Not only did every teacher, doctor, court and family member fail to notice, a series of doctors denied that it existed over a period of years. I completely lost faith in our health service.
