@DrSpudnik - amaaazing, we're patients of the same doctor!
All a diagnosis is is you going to a doctor and telling him what's wrong with you and then he translates it into some kind of Latin or Greek pidgin nonsense.
Yurm no. My autism diagnosis included developmental reports, screening with the AQ and EQ (Baron-Cohen), friendship quiestionare, social stories questionnaire, DISCO and a cognitive assessment report. Also if you think it’s easy getting an official diagnosis for let’s say schizophrenia, I suggest you visit a psychiatrist and try and convince him/her.
