do I have asd

monkey

Hi there

I came on this website for support as my son recently got diagnosed with asd. As you can imagine I have done alot of research and have started noticing i have similar struggles to my son. Sometimes I can't put him 1st because of how I'm struggling (it makes me feel like such a bad mum) the main things are when he has tag or hood out or seams of clothes folded up I just can't cope and have to sort it out even if he is having a meltdown. Today I looked online at autism online tests and did 3 different ones. All of them said a strong likelyhood of autism. I am not sure what to do I don't want to look like an idiot at the doctors.

Parents

  • I've always had difficulties socially. When I was younger I made friends but was never myself with anyone not even my parents. When I was little I used to describe it as there was a brick wall between me and everyone and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't knock it down. I spoke to my husband and he doesn't think I have asd, that I'm only worse now because of stress with my son and that I'm reading too much into everything. So I don't know what to think now?
