Like there are so many factors involved in this. I can't imagine living that long knowing something isn't quite right but not knowing what it is until someone else sees what you can.

I’ve been searching and I can’t find where he’s been diagnosed with autism. The only thing I’m seeing is his saying that watching too much porn can make you “sexually autistic” and that’s definitely not a thing. Where else can I search for this info?

This is his first time discussing it publicly.

I don’t even want to know how much it cost, the accessibility, time, amount of professionals involved. It’s not right. Kids need to be able to access this. I’m happy for him but also frustrated how many don’t even get 15 minutes from a doctor & are unable to function in society.

I can't tell you specific amounts for sure, but diagnosis is done through a psychologist or Neuro-psychologist. It is anywhere between 6-10 hrs of testing for a complete look into all learning disabilities/neuro divergence.

Should definitely get tested. There's worse things than being like me, after all.

It's really hard for Black folks to get diagnosed. Long waitlists, difficulty with the referral process, and discounting symptoms as "bad behavior" gum up the whole thing. Best to Rock and his family.

Also I think people are hard-wired to see very specific forms of behavioral expression as autism. This is also a problem with ADHD diagnoses and one f the reasons that girls are often suffering silently for years because often adults only care when they're affected.
