Hiya, im a teenage girl, and have been struggling for years. Ever since I was a child I struggled. The teacher even told my parents to get me tested if I was deaf because I didnt listen. Anyways. Recently for the last year I have been thinking alot and doing lots of research about autism.
Some of my ways is avoiding contact and when I do make eyecontact I feel like the other person is staring into my soul and I panic and look away. I also am sensitive to sounds and touch. Ever since I was young I'd go to places gatherings with my parents and I'd ask them if I could leave because id panic and over stimulate. I still am the same. Certain feelings make me feel uncomfortable and worried. I get obsessive about certain interests to the point I bore people. I'm extremely awkward and shy around people except close friends. I also like to work alone I am a mute in a group and loose focus easily. I also have a routine. I suppose ocd type behaviours. I'm just super unsure. I have more reasons to believe I might be on the spectrum but I want to maybe get diagnosed but I don't know.
