I went through adhd evaluation when i was like 9 or 10 years old, so i don't remember it 100% but you dont need to be nervous. Imagine it as it was an evaluation but that does not matter the result. It doesn't matter if u do it wrong or right thats why they are evaluating u, to help u not to judge u . Hope this make u feel better!

ahhh thank u ! 

honestly, how do you walk the line between wanting to be taken seriously and not wanting to come across as belligerently self-diagnosing ?

because i'm not like, convinced i have autism so much as i am convinced that it's a legitimate possibility, & i've noticed that when people seem to doubt me i get very obstinate and start trying to list all the reasons why i think i do. but if people seem to believe me i do the opposite and get really ambivalent like i don't know and maybe i'm overthinking things

but the lady on the phone to schedule my appointments and check insurance stuff already asked me if it was me, or someone else in my life that suspected autism, and i told her it was me but i felt like maybe i shouldn't have? and it just made me wonder why that matters enough to ask in an otherwise really business-like conversation, & i'm afraid maybe they are already just humoring me

& i've had not-so-great experiences with doctors and psychologists before so idk. any advice on what kind of attitude to bring to the meetings and how to stand up for myself without coming across as too obstinate or intractable would just be really helpful tbh

ahh yes thank u ! i want to think of it like that too and i keep having to remind myself they're medical professionals and it's their job to help and not judge, & that i'm definitely not the weirdest or worst person they've ever treated. it's just hard after a long time in psychological care, w the experience to know that, like in every field, not every medical professional is actually good at their job :/

can i ask u a question if is not too personal? I was diagnosed with add but sometimes i feel that maybe i have a kind of autism. How were u diagnosed with autism? Because this kind of illnesses are difficult to diagnose and i heard that sometimes people diagnosed with add are actually autistic but they were diagnosed incorrectly.

I think I would just say "I think it's a real possibility I have autism" just as a statement before the test, or if they ask you. If they react negatively, try not to elaborate or something, and ask to get on with the test. Though I've heard medical professionals who downplay or don't like autism before, they're kind of rare. 
Before the test, I woud try and ask them for things which could make me more comfortable taking the test; such as a cup of tea, some juice, or some water. They have this most places, at least where I'm from. If there are other sensory problems, ask politely for them to be fixed so you have the best experience possible, such as shutting the blinds for the sun, closing the door, taking out a tangle/stim item/comfort item from home, etc. They should be accomodating of that.
If you feel they're not taking you seriously, or feel the urge to challege something they say, I would advice you to disengage and try maybe some breathing exercises to calm yourself? Try not to overthink, it's their job and even if there are some bad apples I promise you they are not all supposed to be like that. Even if you have bad past experiences, they're not all supposed to be like that
