Hello. I hope I'm not crazy

Hi all. My name is Rachel. I'm a 28 yr old mother to a 4 yr old and a wife to a wonderful husband who always puts up with my crazy. 

I have never actually been diagnosed with ASD, but all roads seem to point in this direction. I've even had people ask me if I'm autistic, and I always answer with "I don't know."

Anyway, I am hoping that I can connect with some people and at least discuss the oddities of life and the things I don't understand or struggle with, and hope that someone out there can assure me that I'm not insane.

Thanks,

Rachel

    Hello Rachel, welcome to the forum! Feel free to ask any questions and read my profile.

    If you believe that you are on the spectrum, you should make an appointment with your GP, who will then decide whether or not to send you for an assessment.

    Some Autistic traits include

    • Doing tasks in a repetitive way.
    • Restricting your behaviours.

    I am sure that you are not "Crazy", If you are diagnosed with Autism, it will simply give you a better understanding of why you are the way you are.

    Should you receive a diagnosis of having Autism, you are NOT crazy or weird. You simply have a condition that makes you do things differently to others.

    I hope that this helps.

    P.S: Just out of curiosity, where about in the United States are you from? (I can only assume that you are from the US based on the info on your profile).
