How can she get preliminary tested if we can't at the moment afford professional testing / two opinions? I tried looking into it myself but the only good tests I find online seem to be expensive ones as well

Look up the "BAARS-IV: Self-Report". There are plenty of PDFs on the internet. Filling them out is a very good way to get an indication and most medical professionals across many countries will recognise it down the line - though it obviously does depend.

I just gave it a look, got about halfway down before skimming towards the end.

"Did you answer 3 or 4 to any question?"

Mate, it was almost all of them. I'm still choosing to believe that "well thats just how life is for everybody right?"

Edit : just went back to it. Check where it effects school/home/work/social relationships. Checked them all except social because I don't really bother keeping friends. Then I realised.
