My mother recently told me that she knows I'm on the spectrum.
My mother recently told me that she knows I'm on the spectrum.
here's the plan look through it. Read aspergers as autism,, then read my below extra notes
Extra notes
Make a list of reasons why u think u are autistic.
include relatives in your family who are autistic or adhd or called weird/different
and a list of occasions when u have been called weird, autistic, different
the list should be electronic ie so you can email it to anyone who wants it.

Thanks to everyone for the replies.
I'd like to get evaluated so I know where I am on the spectrum.
I defo have it though.
Is it good practice to declare this condition?
Is it something that should be on file?
I dread the thought of everyone at work knowing... like if it was confirmed and I had to declare it to my employers.

my advice is to wait a month after getting your diagnosis then only tell the bare minimum people at work eg HR and ur line manager thats it ---- this is confidential/medical/personal information,, mention that to HR and line manager you dont want anyone else to know.
Ask HR if your linemanager needs to know
u can decide later if you want to tell anyone else work. I I still havent., at 2 years, after diagnosis.
you will be unstable mentally for some months after getting the diagnosis whatever it is......... it could be ASD + ADHD or ASD +OCD u never know.
