Having been diagnosed in my late twenties, I don't think the American health care system can be relied on to make this call. It's such a crapshoot, and so many people are denied regular access, I don't know if there's even much of a point in being diagnosed.
Also, based purely on anecdotal evidence, it seems like if you think you might be then the odds are good that you are.
There's the issue of not having healthcare or parents that would care enough to see if the issues you're having are neurodivergence. Like I've definitely got something or another but I don't know that I'll ever have an opportunity to get diagnosed.
