UPDATE: My parents withheld a diagnosis from me for fifteen years

It?s almost been half a year. I ended up confronting my parents. I am 18F.
Shortly after I wrote that post, I set out to find out if the diagnosis was true. I found and called the doctors who diagnosed me. I met with professionals. I even made a two-hour trip to an ASD association before work (I had a summer job at the time). All of these confirmed that the diagnosis was true. I was offered retesting but it?s no longer free as I?m now 18.
I hadn?t thought of confronting my parents because I was scared of their reaction. On the day I left to go to the association I left home very early and my mum noticed my absence. I was very scared. I told her a lie at first but then told her the truth and explained everything to her.
She denied I had ASD at first but then she changed her mind. She said she knew all along and nobody had actually suggested the diagnosis had been incorrect. I asked her when she?d planned on telling me. She said she didn?t know. She offered me some emotional support.
My dad was involved in the conversation at some point. He denied everything and brushed me off as being overly anxious. He then asked if I wanted to drop out of university and go to a psychiatric institution.
I love my parents, but I don?t know how to feel. I resent them a little. I feel like I should?ve been told at some point. A lot of things in my life, especially in my early childhood, make sense now. But maybe they would?ve never made sense if I had not discovered my old diagnosis. Sometimes I think I could?ve had a better life if I had known and received support.
TL;DR: parents hid a diagnosis from me for 15 years. I found out and confronted them. Dad denied it, mum said she knew all along.
