self-diagnosis

From the little information I found online, I pieced together a self-diagnosis or perimenopause-related aches and pains.

Her self-diagnosis was confirmed by Mr Anderson after she had been bedbound for more than a year, receiving "absolutely no help".

For our third and final piece in our series on neurodivergence, we’ll explore what people stand to gain through self-diagnosis, criticism that’s been leveled at people who’ve chosen to do so, and when it may be necessary to seek a professional assessment.

"Having a diagnosis or seeking one, or even self-diagnosis, can be a very valuable discovery and tool in your own self-concept and growth."

"As for assessing whether you or someone you know is autistic, this is great to keep in mind since no diagnosis or group of people is a monolith. You know yourself. Having a diagnosis or seeking one, or even self-diagnosis, can be a very valuable discovery and tool in your own self-concept and growth. But a formal diagnosis goes much further when it comes to protection under the law."
