Hi. I am a 18 year old female and I have always had difficulties interacting with and understanding the world but no one has ever supported me and it made me have a nervous breakdown for like 2 years. I experience sensory overload and get very upset at lack of familiar routine. I have always had lots of anxiety and social anxiety which seemed to come from the world being too overwhelming, and now I’m going the therapy for it, being told I have depression and anxiety. However, I have always identified with aspergers syndrome except I thought it was stupid to say to someone ‘i think i have aspergers’ as I thought you had to be diagnosed as a child early on.
I am wondering if I should mention something to the gp but I don’t know how and I always get kinda nervous around her as I don’t know how to properly explain things and I fear I come across as strange.
If anyone has any advice that would be helpful. Thanks.
