Hi there, joined this group last night and thought I’d wait a few hours before I made a post.
I’m a 24 year old male from the UK who has a mixed anxiety and depressive disorder (unsure if it’s related to this)
So first things first, I’m an uncle and recently found out that my nephew has Autism & ADHD.
Out of curiosity, to better understand my nephew and his traits I thought I’d look online for some research and advice.
On one of the websites I was asked if I’d like to do a questionnaire to see if I had a specific traits of autism. I guess curiosity got the better of me it seems.
Anyways, fast forwarding to the results. The results on the test said that I had some "high" autism spectrum symptoms. It caught me off guard so I proceeded to go to two different websites to fill out the questionnaire on those, but to my surprise they had stated similar results.
I waited two days and thought I’d try do those questionnaire again to see if the results would be any different. The only different was 1-2 points But with the same outcome
I’m currently unsure on what to think or even where to go from here. I know these questionnaires are always to be taken with a grain of salt but it really has me scratching my head.
Any advice and recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks
- Tom
