Yeah fair, but as the other person said. Maybe I've just done enough ASD and ADHD tests that im subconsciously already giving the answers that lead to the diagnosis.

In addition psychologist was seeing just a glimpse, ~60 minutes, of my life every 2 weeks. Yeah sure over the course of half a hear, but that's clearly not enough to form a coherent picture of a person. I can't even remember what we talked about last time(possible SDAM), neither am i the only person they were seeing so it's possible they can mix up people as well.

And it's not like they actually saw "real" me, which doesn't even really exist. All they saw was just an amalgamation of coping methods and behavioral habts developed and fine tuned over the course of 2+ decades necessary for whatever phase of life I'm currently in.

And it's not like i know what's going on inside either (possible alexithymia) i'm just a biological machine responding to external sensory signals to the best of my ability and always limited knowledge.

So they could have subconsciously gaslight/press certain buttons for me to give an appearance of ASD.

So you see, it's not like it that certain with current methods.

A better method would be needed, a one i cant effect in any way.
Even bloodwork would probably be lacking as that can be effected to a degree by me. Maybe brain scan, but maybe it's possible to effect which neurons fire by thinking about certain things. So probably a DNA test is necessary to know for certain.
