And it’s very expensive to get the diagnosis, it can be up to $20k in California

I paid $150 on crap startup insurance.

And then what?

Nobody will accommodates you.

Suing for ADA violations will cost $20k just for a retainer. And then it's a gamble if you win or not.

And the US government wants to aggregate us into a list for who knows what reason.

Mental health, like physical health, requires action on your part. If the only thing you're seeking from a diagnosis is accommodations from others, then yeah, you're probably going to be disappointed.

I think you mean the full diagnostic process? Screening is just the first step in (what should be) a long process to decide whether the full workup makes sense. Screening takes on the order of minutes to an hour and it doesn't come with a diagnosis, the actual diagnostic process should take many hours and several appointments.

This approach might help some, but it might hinder too.

There is a post here about someone who was misdiagnosed and bipolar and that later came up when security clearance was needed for a job.
