Autism without stereo types?

NAS76953

Do i have asd im getting second test and failed the first test.

I don't have meltdowns often maybe burnout on weekends due to the entire week like irritated, issues with sound and light and depression.

I have interests like gaming been grinding rocketleague and collect aftershave but not sure if it's special interests.

My room is filthy aren't people with autism pretty originated?

Honestly I got something wrong with me mentally i think adhd but mental health care team can only come to conclusion of autism.

I hate myself I don't show the real me to even my family I hide my hyperself only on online discord friends I get all hyper and weird and apparently im annoying.

I failed my first asd test apparently because on the second part I didn't show physical asd systems think was echolalia and speech issues and not enough information given due to fact I can talk to people but not able to give detailed information and questions I tend to struggle with and need as much detail as possible to understand them but to scared to ask for more details as I don't seem to take in the information given to me. I've been told I can't get psychology anymore because im not psychologically minded. 

I could go on all day but my real question is if im not stereo type asd can I still gave asd.

  • Hi and welcome to the community. Iain has given you some useful advice, and I agree with him that there is no accurate stereotype of autism. The classic misunderstandings are that autistic people are either hyper intelligent savants or low functioning and needing full time care. It also used to be thought it only or mainly occurred in white males. All these preconceptions are incorrect.

    In this community we stay anonymous (you might like to change your user name to a nickname) and we all try to stay non judgemental, plus there are active moderators checking posts frequently, so we have a safe space to be who we are. So I would encourage you to try to be yourself here.

    Regarding your room needing to be cleaned, some of us autistic adults also have OCD and so we need our surroundings to be clean & tidy, but not all autistic people have this - it could be that you have ADHD and this might cause challenges for organising tasks. Try making a daily schedule of tasks you need to do to keep your room clean and tidy and add in anything else you need to do such as taking a shower, and see if you can stick to it. Plan a treat for when you finish tasks each day, such as playing a game, watching a favourite TV show, or eating a treat food.

    I hope you find this forum helpful.
