I'm from Australia too, and thanks to COVID, I was able to get my diagnosis quicker as an adult, because child diagnoses were stopped for a while (since it's difficult to get children on the spectrum to keep their distance for a longer period of time, I'm guessing?). I'm able to get assistance myself, luckily, and I'm glad others can get funding as well, but I have the feeling many self-diagnosers avoid getting an official diagnosis because the truth would shatter their narcissistic delusions that they're intersectional and special.
