hi friend! i, an afab trans-masc, was diagnosed very recently. i think it was really helpful to gain insight to the issues/ obstacles i've been dealing with for my whole life. i learned that a lot of the "differences" i felt from the people around me stemmed from autism. for years and years, i masked my autism, and it's resulted in burnout in adulthood. i also went to get diagnosed at the suggestion of a previous therapist. it's super affirming. i also gained a lot of insight into other things i struggle with bc the neuropsychologist that i saw did a detailed assessment and included other diagnoses that i hadn't known about, i was aware of a lot of my mental health issues before the assessment, but it helped me to better understand my current-at-the-time diagnoses and explained a lot about experiences, thoughts, and feelings when receiving my new diagnoses.
it was pretty expensive but i do feel that it was worth it. if you have any specific questions or concerns, please feel free to reply and i'll do my best to explain.
