You can get supports and accommodations, especially at work and school. Otherwise, as you said, there’s little point to a formal diagnosis for the sake of it.
In my case, I don’t want/need any supports, so I was fine with a much cheaper unofficial assessment. It helped me understand myself and my struggles, like learning just how many things I downplayed as “being dramatic” was real sensory and social friction.

Yeah, if i were to be diagnosed earlier then some help in school life would have been good.
Otherwise pretty much the same, i already had developed all the necessary workarounds for my life by the time i got diagnosed.
