I was once told by a therapist that I can’t be autistic because I’m married, not quite obsessive enough over my interests, and was teaching college classes at the time.
When I was a teen I was told by my psychiatrist “I would diagnose you with Asperger’s, but I’m not going to because you’ll be able to do any job you want as long as you have a secretary.”
Yeah it was a ridiculous thing to say. And if I actually needed a secretary to work, that would be an accommodation that would require a diagnosis anyway.
