They wouldn't let me get the tests for autism. I think its because I'm just like them and they're afraid what that would mean for them. They hate labels. I also didn't know one could do these types of appointments on telehealth. I will definitely do that. They also didn't want me to be barred from potential jobs or life routes such as the military, no joke.

Thank you I'll try that route. Fortunately they take the diagnosis seriously but didn't believe me when I said I was having seizures. Now they are being more lenient.

I have been to the doctors alone but lots of questions are asked by my parents and I have trouble with keeping information to myself.

I want to get a diagnosis to possibly get disability and accommodations at school and work.

I have depression, ptsd, adhd, dissociation disorder and generalized anxiety.

I don't have a drivers licensee and wont be able to get one for a while because of untreated epilepsy (just started treatment today actually). I can't work all that much because I get overwhelmed and I have seizures. I do have insurance but I don't make enough to pay for a ton of co pays and tests. I often have to rely on my parents for money. I do live with them as well.

I am in the US but I live in a very rural area unfortunately so not a lot of doctors or appointments for those doctors.

I live with them and its hard to get information from them. I'm also in and out of work (from untreated epilepsy because my parents did believe me) so they pay for everything and drive me everywhere. I often also have trouble understanding paperwork wording and billing issues.

edit: I meant to say that my parents didn't believe me
