On waiting list for second asd

NAS76953

I failed my first autism test due to lack of info given and because I showed no signs of speech issues but I've been put on waiting list again thanks to my psychiatrist. my issue is I've been masking for years and I'm not good at answering their questions. My team think I have asd and myself a little but think I've been trying to be normal my whole life to fit in I come across normal but far from it. I can talk to peopke if they ask me but I won't talk to them. I don't want to fail this time because im tired of going through life struggling not knowing what's wrong with me my team think it's asd think it's adhd but they said no it's asd.

  • If I do fail this test again we're do I go I struggle with life badly I'm adult with childish mind, I only eat certain foods for long periods before switching to another. Im lying in messed up bed because I don't like change i have brand new mattress but hate the feeling and hate the change. My room is filthy and full of stuff horded so I got no room. I could go on and on like lights and sound can put me into meltdowns and so on but it's not enough to get diagnosis. I habe an issue with instructions in my brain that makes me look lazy but im not. I have ocd issues. I could ho on and on but ill stop

    You can stay in this community if you feel comfortable here - not all of us are formally diagnosed (I'm not) and you can ask us any questions you have.

    Have you taken the online AQ50 test? That should show whether you are likely to be on the spectrum. https://embrace-autism.com/autism-spectrum-quotient/

    Do you like your room messy? If not, try writing down a plan of tasks to do to clean and tidy it and schedule dates and times to do those tasks. Sort the stuff you have hoarded into rubbish and what you want to keep, then sort what you are keeping in a way that helps you find stuff e.g. books in alphabetical order, other items by colour, etc. 

    Wishing you well
