1 year agoI don’t know anything about Canada, so can’t say anything about your situation exactly.
I was in the same self-diagnosed boat as you are now and never cared to do any official steps, since it has no added value at the time.
Now I have some other mental problems and am currently at the stage of confirming my autism so I can find a therapist who’ll understand me better.
I personally don’t care about disclosure, almost everyone I know knows about it, but I’m a really open person.
