At 40 i started year with referaal for autism assesment now i wait

JJJJ

Hi

I am on a waiting list for autism referal will be 3 years plus befkre i will be seen, but i am now feeling crushed with the wait . I only realised the issues i had my whole life with issues with socilizing sound light and anxity being called very shy and quiet child but very bright  coupled with always feeling like i was in fight or flight with the world could be autism. Now that i have responsibiltys of a adult all these things i just asummed was just life and everyone delt with it i cant deal with aswell anymore and anxity can explode over small things ro other people that go wrong but to me consume every second.

I just need to know am i autistic or just going mad

  • Hi, I also have this uncertainty going on, am I autistic or is it something else. Or I'm just inferior to others. Hearing my whole life that im wrong, I just need to try harder, when others made things with much less effort made me grow up with this low self esteem. I have my assessment in autumn this year- October/November. My therapist says he would be amazed if I turned out to not be autistic. But everything is possible. I wish you that it all goes smoothly.
