I got diagnosed at like 6 or 7 (back in the dark ages when doctors were throwing Ritalin at all the "problem" kids and only high needs autistic kids were getting diagnosed) but the doctor told my mom that it was borderline so she should just ignore it because the "negative stigma" would hold me back more than my autism.
Got bullied lots, went through all of school bored because I was too smart but bordering on failing because my handwriting was atrocious.
Had a really awkward early 20s before meeting a diagnosed autistic guy and talking for a bit and remembering the testing. So I asked my mom and shes like "oh yeah I thought you knew."
Exactly me in 5-10th grade lmao. They never deducted poonts for handwriting luckily
