In all honesty I’m not really sure why I posted this in the first place, it was kinda stupid of me smh. Thanks anyway though.
It definitely wasn't stupid of you to post this - it's things like this that the forum exists for. I hope we've been able to be of some help.

You already have a diagnosis, its not something you need to have done again as Im sure it will be in your medical records somewhere despite what your parents think of it.
Actually, in my case, the only reason my diagnosis is in my medical records is because I specifically went out of my way to take the diagnosis papers to my doctor to have the diagnosis recorded in my medical records.
The psychologist was very clear before we started the diagnostic process that as long as he didn't suspect I was either homicidal or suicidal, everything we said would be completely confidential, including the diagnosis results. I'm sure the psychologist has a record of my diagnosis, but he's pretty close to retirement.
Why don't you make sure that your doctor has the full report, it should just be a case of phoning the psychologist?

Sorry, maybe my reply was confusing. My doctor does have the full report. When I was diagnosed, the psychologist gave me the report. I brought it to my doctor, who had it scanned and put onto my medical records.
Unless there's more to the report than the printed papers that the psychologist gave me...

SplendidSnail,
I took that Autism Quotient test and got a 44 out of 50...so thats probably saying something lol
Mythos,
We actually do sound pretty similar! I will say on the sarcasm/humor I sometimes take things way too literally, but I personally use sarcasm like all the time and typically don't have a problem keeping up when others use it. The other things on your list sound pretty accurate too (except maybe the visual cues) so thats cool. On the topic of obsessions, do you not ever have any? I don't have that like one thing that I'm always obsessed with but when I get stuck on a topic of interest I'm like totally stuck and nothing could distract me from it (including food and sleep lol).

I just took it and got a 45. Here are the results. Yeah if you have a 44 you almost certainly have it. Also denial isn't healthy so stop it.
