I have been thinking for around 15 years that i may have autism or something, I'm now 32 and giving it some real thought.
Is it really worth me possibly wasting the GPs time at my age?
Will it affect me adversely if i do get diagnosed, ie insurance getting another job if i lose the one i have at the moment, or will the benefits out weigh this?
Is there even a chance i have autism?
I really don't know what to do for the best?
Sorry I'm rambelling now, here is my list of quirks:
Don't like eye contact especially with people I don't know
have no friends
was bullied at school because I didn't really fit in
like having a routine – if its interrupted I get stressed.
Like counting coins
difficulties making decisions - always ask for a second or even third opinion
I hate odd or mixed textures in food
have felt depressed on many occasions for long periods
have difficulty expressing myself
looking at number plates I remember them without wanting to I sometimes have to concentrate not to remember it – I don't need to retain that information.
Have temper tantrums when things go wrong
don't like talking to people on the phone, I use to ask my mum to call for me
I use to have to write notes to people as I had difficulty approaching them
like my foods separated on the plate
Help what do you think, sorry if I'm wasting your time - arrrhhhh this is hard to do
Thanks so much for reading my rambellings
