I’ve seen way too much “well gee you’re holding a conversation with me, there’s no way your autistic”
Twice in my life I tried to start a conversation on this topic with a medical mental health professional, like "Doctor, this feels relatable, can we...", and both times the reaction was basically "we've talked for 10 minutes and that's definitely not relevant, I won't even ask you where that came from or explain why", in a way that made me feel like a bad person even for considering. And then proceeded to blame me for any follow up miscommunications... One time this was a "specialist" on the subject and I fear for any kids coming to them, they were all around a condescending patronizing asshole that could not even be on time 90% of the meetings
