How does autism even get diagnosed

Do they scan your brain or just as your questions?

If its the latter then that sounds like massive bullshit

Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be difficult because there is no medical test, like a blood test, to diagnose the disorder. Doctors look at the child's developmental history and behavior to make a diagnosis. ASD can sometimes be detected at 18 months of age or younger.
Clinicians test for autism with a screening questionnaire first. Then, the child might get a series of in-depth tests for autism. Tests for autism look at how the child plays, behaves, and communicates. Testing for autism also involves interviews with adults in the child's life.

Basically how it happened to me, and at the end the psychiatrists at the building had a meeting to discuss and agree whether I had a diagnosis
