Seeking an Autism Diagnosis or Screening

2017-09-20 13:57:53
I know this is a big thing, but I am an adult who is very certain I have autism. I would like to know how I can pursue a diagnosis? This comes from years of self evaluation and research. I am genuinely, almost definitely certain, but don't feel comfortable labeling myself without a doctor's agreement.
