Thanks, and you really hit the nail on the head there - far too many medical practitioners don't understand autism and neurodiversity in general, and worse, trying to bring that fact up just makes them more antagonistic (even with an advocate by my side, it's quite pathetic really). It's probably one of my biggest hurdles in getting the care I need, and why I'm putting off looking again.. But I will, at some point.
