there’s no real value in it

A formal thorough autism evaluation and diagnosis has been considerably helpful for me as now I can make sense of all of the difficulties I've had my entire life, and adjust so that I can make my life what I want it to be.

You might find the assessments at the following site helpful: https://embrace-autism.com/
