Hello,
I feel like a fraud coming on here as I don't have a diagnosis, so I hope it's OK.
I spoke to a doctor for general adivce as i feel i've been unravelling more lately as im not able to use my coping mechanisms properly lately. The doctor referred me for an assessment for autism and ADHD. The stimming, the social issues, spending the whole day reviewing a conversation in my head examining the small things to make sure i said the right things in the correct way, i interpreted them the right way, the feeling when eye contact is made, the lack of it and being touched, the fixations, the struggling with light and sounds, the breakdowns with routine change, the mind shut downs to name just a few as there are more.
Ive always felt normal and that these are normal issues that everyone has day to day, like I said I feel like a fraud at the minute. I'm 35 and have been like this since I can remember. Its not like I'm searching for something but it all makes sense.
Has anyone ever felt like this? Should or could I ask for advice here?
Thank you
