getting diagnosed

hey, so im 15m and just talked to my doctor about getting screened for autism. for those in the forum who have been/are in the process of being diagnosed, what was it like for you? my social anxiety can get really overwhelming, especially about something like this. there are only a couple people in my life i have confided in about possibly having autism. im afraid ill shut down or even cry during the appointment. i would like some words of support/advice too, if possible T_T

For me, it was a bit odd. They gave me some sheet to fill out for my screening but It had weird questions like if I had a partner. It's only weird to me bcuz what does that have to do with autism?
