I am confused.com
I think I maybe on the autistic spectrum, I have an appointment booked with the GP this Friday to ask for a referral but originally, I had made the appointment as I was struggling with depression and then a friend suggested it might be high functioning autism.
I did my reading on this forum, and other places including watching videos on YouTube by women on the spectrum it sounded just like me like I could have been giving that talk, but now am anxious and confused what if the GP does not believe me and what if they do but I am barking up the wrong tree and don’t get a diagnosis.
I did do the autism quiz online and I got 38 out of 50 and the empathy one and got 24 out of 80
Does this sound like autism?
would appreciate any feedback does this sound familar
Greetings. I just caught this Thread being started, and so just say... When at your appointment then Do not "Mask" - i.e. Be yourself, no matter how strange or rude you may come across as. Also, collate as much evidence as possible, from your own History (School & Work & other Tests), that relates to yourself, including that which you list here so far.
...If you suspect that you may be Autistic then you probably are.
...Lastly... other people may next give better answers than this one! Just keep reading and checking... but I mostly wanted to say the "Do not Mask" bit, and that if you suspect Autism then it is always always worth checking out, certainly. Appointments are hard to gain, so use it while you can.
... Did I mention that you should not "Mask" during your appointment? ;-)
Thanx, for the reply yh thats what am afraid of I will mask subconsciously.
