Hello
I am a 41 year old male and recently a friend has been told she might have ADHD so she is going through the motions of getting assessed..
Because of this she has done a lot of research in Neurodiverse conditions and has suggested that i might have some form of Autism. I dont know a lot about this condition and so am looking for advice and infornation.
A bit about me: i have been diagnosed with Clinical Depression as well as severe anxiety (Social anxiety)
As a kid i was always anxious in strange situations, and at one point i left school for 10 months due to panic around school. I have always felt odd and not a part of society as a whole and i feel as tho i can act the part well but not actually feel part of society. I also struggle to form serious intimate relationships due to fear and panic
This in itself is hard to write because i cant think of what to say or how to express it.
Its confusing because on one hand i feel capable and another part feels disabled
There is no reason i should have had such severe anxiety as i cant pinpoint a part of my life that i can say triggered the time off school, i know it happened but i dont know why i became so anxious in school.
Apologies if this is confusing and not very detailed but it does objectionably seem i might have traits of Autism.
Hope you were able to understand some of this
Cheers
