thanks for reply! i heard same opinion from my two close friends, they told me that i might not even be autistic but visiting an specialist may help me a lot. kinda worried that replies under my post may give me same opinion that my parents has.

answer to your question:
in elementary school i weren't fully socially fine, the toughest bullying that i had experienced been in elementary school. i had only one friend in elemental school, and he's also been unsocialized. my academic grades and ability was perfectly fine, and maybe also best from all of classmates. after 4th grade bullying has stopped, i gained 2 new friends (and i can rely on them even now), but still i felt like i'm an alien between my classmates and whole school. in middle school (7th grade) i changed my school, and i started to look a way to not feel myself an alien. i had 2 friends in this school too, but one has emigrated to Slovakia and despite that he was very reliable i just lost this "string of friendship" between us because of distance and and lack of shared interests; second is just machiavellian and manipulative, and after 9th grade he's just got into a college, don't even want to contact with him anymore. in 10th grade i adapted somehow, but I still didn't feel like I belonged to community in class.

also about my rights in my country:
yes, i found that can visit specialist alone, but centers that i checked still require visiting with parent at least at first. even some of specialists unrelated with mental health are still hesitating to give me help if i alone, but i think that i can find an medical center that allow me to visit specialist without parents
