Worried that I might be told I’m not autistic

Now I know this sounds stupid, but I’m apprehensive about seeking a diagnosis, partly because I might be told I don’t have autism. I’m not sure where that would leave me. I guess it would just make me a bit of a weirdo, who has no real reason to find certain things so difficult.

 I don’t feel 100% sure I have autism, but I’m questioning. I took the AQ test and scored 30, so not super low but not super high either. I’m not sure what the purpose to this post is, I’m just torn on what to do.

    If you write down every issue or problem you have, you might notice a pattern that is more along the lines of autism.    There are lots of tests - you have to ask yourself if are you double-guessing the 'right' answers or how well do you really know yourself - and are you being totally honest with your answers.

    How do you deal with sudden change or dealing with the unknown?   Are you able to deal with stress and anxiety?
