    i once got diagnosed with both in under half an hour. psychiatrists generally don't know what autistic people actually are, even when you tell them.

      That sucks, sorry that happened. A full psychological evaluation is much better than the quick visits with a psychiatrist, but those can be hella expensive. Diagnoses are working understandings, and unfortunately you kinda have to be your own expert and work with the provider to help them understand what's going on.

        eh, i was mostly amused and annoyed. the diagnostic criteria for personality disorders specify, in their own book, that you need an extended relationship to diagnose with any confidence.
