I was autistic when I was a “quirky” kid who didn’t get a referral.
I was autistic when I said “I can’t possibly be autistic.”
I was autistic when I was evaluated and misdiagnosed.
I’m autistic now.

Every autistic person is autistic before they get “officially” diagnosed.
The condition that prompts the diagnosis exists prior to the diagnosis. This is true of every single diagnosis; medical and psychiatric. I don't know what else to tell you.
