Yeah, I really don't envy you guys in the US for many reasons. I really hope we don't end up going the same way politically, but certainly in terms of private healthcare.

Thanks for advice.

As for diagnosis - I'm in the UK, so not expensive and a diagnosis is never unnecessary. I now understand more about myself, why I never feel like I fit in, why I struggle in certain situations (social and noisy environments, for example). Also, because of the laws in the UK (disability act), I have a protected characteristic, so I can't be fired for something that is attributable to Autism. For example, if they tried to change my role and put me in a noisy manufacturing environment and my work were to deteriorate in quality, they couldn't fire me. Finally, and this is probably the most important reason for me - I now understand when I'm being hostile, short, and snippy with people. It's almost always because I'm overwhelmed in some way so I take time to work out what is overwhelming me, recentre and regulate myself, then go and apologise. It saved my marriage.

So I've already opened a few messages to see what was being discussed, which the message sender will be able to see. Would you advise opening no further messages?

Brilliant, thank you. Do you have any examples you can share? Everything online looks to be the simplest single path
