I'm not sure

Hi Everyone,

I don't know where to start. So I'll start with how I feel.

Sometimes, when I'm in a busy environment, like pub. the voices seem to meld into one sound and it makes me want to run out of the room because it's too loud.

I notice things and remember things other people don't even notice.

Sometimes I start crying for no reason.

I feel self conscious all the time, like I'm being judged.

I'm anti social because I don't feel like anyone understands me.    

As a consequence, I drink too much, which I hate myself for.

I hope I can get some sensible input cos I feel like I'm going nuts and I saw a YouTube video of someone who is diagnosed with Autism and he basically described me.

Thank You in advance 

Andy xx

  • A definitive answer might help. Have you tried an AQ50? It's a questionnaire you'll find online. It's not a diagnosis but it will give you an idea of whether an assessment is worthwhile and focus on the issue of whether you want one or just want to self identify. Whether you go the official route or not it will give you a starter for 10 as to pinning down the issue.
