Hello,
I have been diagnosed with autism since i was around 6 years old, however i dont think i do have it because i dont really relate to any of the symptoms, and i feel like the symptoms that i displayed was due to traumatic events that i have experienced in my life. When i was younger i was very quiet because i would be scared to talk, i was also going through emotional abuse which made me not want to talk to anyone. As i became a teenager i became normal and i dont think i have any other symptoms of autism but i didnt know what to do. A few months ago i finally had the courage to contact my GP about this situation, they have given me the adult autism questionnaire and they have said they referred me to a adult autism service. I dont know how this will work as i was already diagnosed, and i am unsure of how long i have to wait. I just wanted some advice to see if anyone else is in a similar situation?
