The only places I've found that diagnose autism near me are hours away and expensive. My primary care doctor told me today that he is 99% sure I am autistic but that he legally can not diagnose me.

I trust my doctor and I am comfortable not pursuing a professional about it because of my doctor. But I am curious if other people have done the same and are comfortable with not getting an official diagnosis because of another professionals opinion. Sorry if this does not make sense I am not the best at writing.

Today I was flagging and usually I'll say "traffic" and the other person will say "copy" but if we hold traffic or if there was an issue it usually switches to where the other person says "clear"/"go ahead and send"

I get told to hold, slid loader and water truck move and the slid-loader driver gives me a thumbs up and signals me to send my traffic, we're on a hill so I can't see past them so I radio "they're telling me to send but I can't tell if it's clear"

We have 2 guys in the middle that check that the work zone is clear but they don't say anything. The other flagger says "copy". I can't tell if he meant "copy" as in "send"or as in "I heard you" because it's used both ways.

So I hold traffic still and the slid loader guy yells at me "so you're gonna send it or what?" He was upset and the water truck guy yells to send it. I say "They're telling me to send it so I'm sending it"

I'm a temp nobody corects me or tells me if I do anything wrong they just kinda ignore it, i feel as if I'm in the wrong for not fully understanding the social rules/unwritten rules that nobody is telling me
