u are mentioning some autistic traits and autism related co-morbids ( anxiety , depression )
your epilepsy complicates things. But I recommend you ask your GP for an autism assessment
try this online test
psychology-tools.com/.../autism-spectrum-quotient
they can help u decide. tell me your score:)
Are these sorts of things reliable? I am waiting for assessment. I got 43 out of 50.
pretty much. Yes they are a very good indicator.
I think so, I self assessed using the shortened AQ-10 from NICE @ https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg142/resources/autism-spectrum-quotient-aq10-test-143968 and scored above the threshold. I managed to get an assessment last year and was diagnosed with ASD in September.
(I've also suffered with depression and the occasional bout of severe anxiety for most of my life which now makes sense - because it's my reaction to a world I can't figure out).
