Doctors can't, it takes a several appointments with a psychologist (or psyc through therapist) to be sure before making a diagnosis. You don't need to go to a specialist either

You don't need to go to a specialist, but it definitely helps. I've had therapists deny my childhood autism diagnosis because they have no clue what to look for in a masking individual.

Psych through a therapist is cheaper and easier in my experience.
