I am 24, I have Cerebral Palsy and I feel I have Autism.
Here is a list of things I have difficulty with:
I have difficulty reading people's emotions and tone
I say the wrong thing sometimes
I have difficulty speaking to people on the phone
I don't like hugs from anyone except mum, dad and Tim
I'm very particular about how I do stuff, I like routine and clothes in a certain drawer
I can’t follow the route of an unfamiliar journey without another person
I don’t feel that I have very many friends and struggle making them
I can’t relate to people well
I don’t always understand what people are saying or feeling
Feel really alone sometimes
Find it difficult to read facial expressions and tone of voice
Difficult to understand jokes and sarcasm
I don't want a diagnosis from the community - I just want some help with how to present my case to my GP for a formal diagnosis.
