Caption: I still don't know why part of autistic/adhd diagnosis isn't putting you in a room with someone already diagnosed and seeing how quickly you bond.

Now the only reason I don't have a diagnosis is because the evaluator didn't understand how the criteria worked

thinking you're smarter than trained and qualified professionals just makes you have honorary Internet autism

I don't think I am smarter? When I was done, he literally told me that I met the criteria, but that he thought my symptoms were for other reasons he refused to elaborate on. I checked with my therapist, who was the one who referred me, and she confirmed that that isn't how it works, and that the evaluator didn't understand how the criteria were supposed to be graded.
