Hello everyone , I stumbled across this site when i was serching for info on dislexia and dispraxia and read an artical on aspergers and felt like wow this is just like me! Now im wondering weather it is worth me persuing a diagnosis? Iv always felt really anxiouse when out and about even when visiting friends. Recently me and my husdand when too see a close friend and there was people I didnt know there, since I wasnt expecting it it was a real shock and i couldnt speak for the whole event.
Colluges have remarked on hand flapping when im happy, normaly in the context of "Do you know what you look like?!" My husband has often commented about rocking when im upset or stressed also. I did not realise i was doing these things until it was brought to my attention that they were abnormal.
High anxiaty when im out and about results in panic attacks that take days to get over and 'enjoyable' events like parties with family/friends provoke an even worse reponse. It awlays feels like im on an uneven footing when talking to people and desperatly trying to play catch up, what did that mean? How do they feel? Whats that look mean? ect to the point i'll avoid talking to peole at all.
I guess what im asking is is this a common thing to feel? How would a diognosis help? Hi to all and im looking forward to reading about your expeirences
