How can I get an autism (ASD) diagnosis?

I'm autistic, self-diagnosed, and I live in India. Can anyone help me with this, or maybe recommend some resources?

Hello Lantana,

I am in the UK so things may be different in India. Here a Doctor or other health care professional can make a referral to the autism team. My daughter struggled in senior school and was referred to the children's mental health service who made the referral after an initial assessment. My friend's son however, it was the primary school who suggested a referral. Here we also have SENDIASS which is special educational needs information and advice support service that helps people to get a referral or the citizens advice bureau could sign post people. You could see what is similarly available in India?
