Hi all,
So, I'm currently in the process of exploring that I have autism. My family and myself are 100% certain that I am and that due to my age I slipped through the education and medical cracks. I'd like to get this confirmed as I've been treated for bipolar and OCD for many years instead and it doesn't fit.
Although I suspect I'd be considered high functioning, my autism DOES affect my everyday life (quite massively) so I'd like to get it sorted.
I completed the online AQ10 and AQ50 and scored 7 and 34. Both indicating there is an issue.
Using these as screening would you say I def have grounds for looking into this further? Based on your own experiences. I just don't want to waste time and money on it.
Thanks again
Adam
Yes, but don't prejudge based on your scores. You can score highly and not be, or low to mid twenties and still be counted.
