Hi everyone

Please help. I´m going through diagnosis at the moment and am expecting the results of some tests within a week or so. My problem is that I am suffering huge anxiety and panic. I have waves and waves of anxiousness turning my stomach over, I´m incredibly angry, I´m stimming constantly and I nearly burst into tears in work. I am physically in pain and close to tears again right now.

It´s not even as though I´m 100% sure I´m on the spectrum although it makes perfect sense to me.

Basically I need to get calm somehow and I´m not sure how but I need to try to do it quickly. I´ve already called in sick for tomorrow after only being back at work one day.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

  • Thank you again everyone for the comments. They are a real help.

    Firstly, I was always extremely well behaved as a child. The thought of being disobedient was abhorrent to me. I have heard that children on the spectrum are often quite wayward in their behaviour but that wasn't me at all. I was just quiet.

    As for work, they do not know I am going through diagnosis. I guess going through it doesn't mean they will tell me I am on the spectrum so I wouldn't want to bring it up yet. However, I clearly have an issue there and am taking avoidance strategies. I really should not be managing anyone at the moment because it is not fair on them and it is not fair on me.

    Finally, I have one more question. I have completed the AQ questionnaire a few times now. My answers sometimes vary because I think they vary very much according to some situations. I dont score really, really high but I always range from about 31-38. But then I think some more and I wonder whether I am really answering any of them fully correctly. Does this sound right? This may be the confusion and mixed-up thoughts playing with me though.

    thanks again everyone
