Failed the 'Are you autistic?' test... but apparently I failed the 'Are you neurotypical?' one too

Last year, I (27F) went to see a psychologist specialized in autism (he’s actually on the spectrum himself) because I wanted to get assessed.

I’ve never really felt like I belong anywhere. I struggle a lot with anxiety and mood issues. I’m extremely introverted, social interactions drain me quickly and make me uncomfortable. I have zero adaptability, when things don't go as planned it feels like the end of the world.

After 5 sessions and many tests (including some specifically aimed at detecting autism in women), the specialist told me I wasn’t on the spectrum. But he also said my test results weren’t neurotypical either. Basically, most of my results were atypical but not "high enough" to meet the autism criteria.

He told me my case was delicate and that he didn’t think an official autism diagnosis would help me. The only result that really stood out was my IQ, which came out very high, but he also said he doesn’t personally believe in the whole "giftedness" label. He wasn’t specialized in other neurodivergences, so he couldn’t guide me further.

I don’t really know what to take from this experience. I still relate a lot to autistic people’s stories, but I feel stuck in a weird in-between with no clear answers.

Do any of you have similar experiences? Or ideas on what I should look into next?
