Hi?!

Kitty

 Um hi!? I am a teen and believe I might have autism. I don’t know if I should tell my parents or not. They can usually tell if other people/children they see have autism and I feel I act just like them. I just don’t get it how they haven’t worked it out. I am quite bright at school and am almost top of my year. I get annoyed at simple things and if something goes wrong. I like planning and lists. I am not a very social person but have a couple of friends. I don’t really know what to do. I get in trouble quite often and seem to think differently and reason differently from my family. Any advice? Feel free to ask me any questions.

  • I WOULDNT  TALK TO THEM I WOULD GET A DIAGNOSES FIRST AND THEN TALK TO THEM IF YOU HAVE GOT AUTISM. THE REASON I SAY THIS IS BECAUSE ALOT OF PEOPLE CAN SAY THE WRONG THINGS. FOR EXAMPLE SAYING THINGS LIKE "YOUR NOT AUTISTIC YOU ARE JUST LAZY". I WOUD GET TESTED FIRST AND IF YOU ARE THEN YOU CAN ASK THE EXPERTS TO WRITE TO YOUR PARENTS. HOPE THIS HELPS
