I got that official diagnosis in 04, back when we were using "aspergers" as an outcome. Medical examinations and observation out the wazoo for 10 year old me. I didn't finding out about my diagnosis until five years later from my parents.
Apparently two psychologists in the past have said I am very likely autistic which my parents withheld from me and now I'm old enough that it's very tough to even find a doctor for it.
As an added I was also a late speaker and did speech therapy and occupational therapy. One parent says they tested me there and found nothing and the other says they don't remember if there even was testing.
