Idk what doctor you're seeing but we have been fighting for years to figure out what our child may have and no doctor is allowed to say anything if they are not specialized in that field to come to that conclusion. It's honestly quite frustrating and the only doctors that can cost a ton of money that is not handled by insurance or the ones that do are over a year wait. We did the year wait and they still couldn't give a definitive assessment either. So not sure how true this meme is.
This meme is about getting a diagnosis in the 80s or 90s
