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.

  • Or you could have social phobia? It is possible to have AS and to make friends, but generally the friendships are one-sided and atypical. There is a sense that, in general, you are not very popular and do not fit in. Long periods can be spent alone, having been excluded from the group, and the group becomes more important during the teenage years, when socialising is no longer about just having one or two close friends.

    ASC can be genetic and the traits can occur in close relatives, but are not always enough to be diagnosable. Whether or not it is diagnosable depends on the severity and degree of traits, how much they cause disability and  hindrance.Whether or not you seek assessment is a very personal decision, and you do not need your husband's consent. Only you can know if the traits you have are causing you significant disability and/or distress.
