FYI autism diagnosis usually makes it much more difficult to emigrate if you ever decide to so its not exactly a good thing to get a diagnosis.

But no, I never went spcifically for such a check.

I dont know the laws in your country, but here doctors cant share any info on their patient without consent. I dont know if that would extend to a disagnosis like that, but the idea is that you ask your doctor if they think you are, and then you proceed according to their advice WITHOUT GETTING THE DIAGNOSIS. It would be massively beneficial for you to know yourself, as unchecked both of those can wreck your quality of life if youre not actively looking into coping mechanisms.

Do you feel unexplainably different from your peers? Like everyone else understands some fact of life that you are completely unaware of? Have you had any issues dating? None of that is a guaranteed diagnosis, but if those questions particularly resonate with you or you feel called out then its worth looking into.

  I mean, I’m Asian in white-majority country so that’s the major difference lol. But other than that, I don’t think so.

  Like what for example?
  
  Have you had any issues dating?
  
  I never had the urge to date, perhaps kinda asexual/aromantic

  Usually in immigration, how it works is YOU HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT EVERYTHING. So if they ask: “have you ever been diagnosed with any mental illnesses?” (I’m not saying that they do ask, but if they ask), you have to legally disclose it. If they found out you lied, they could revoke everything and deport you
  
  Also btw you know about all the so-called “privacy” stuff? Privacy doesn’t really exist when it comes to immigrarion.
  
  Guess what, USCIS can see all medical records, every sealed/expunged criminal records, even juvenile records, even pardoned/overturned cases, and make a decision based on that. I’m assuming this is similar in other countries.
