Am I autistic or not?

NAS72310

Hi hope everyone's well.

I feel that I may have autism as I have difficulties in communicating with others and my confidence levels are 0. I feel all the time people will judge me if I say or do something. I can't say no either to people I start feeling bad if I do.

I have had this issue since I was a kid and now I am 32. I got bullied alot at school but didn't tell anyone as I was too scared.

Anytime I see someone I know I just want to to run away and not speak to them. It feels horrible to be in this situation and I feel negative most of the time. Has someone been in this situation ? Can anyone tell me if this is related to autism or is it something else pls help.

  • The feelings you describe are social anxiety ,which may relate to autism ,there are lots of tests online ,but can be due to childhood ,trauma ,bullying  .If you are really struggling a diagnosis or counselling may be helpful.

    My eldest daughter has similar symptoms caused by trauma when she was very young.
