Intro

Hi. In the past nine months my outlook on life has changed, my friend from the gym got a diagnosis of asd and we are quite similar in a lot of ways, this led to me doing various online test including an AQ test and scored 41 during lockdown I have been doing two autism related courses. I keep ending up in tears while reading the course materials as it reflects me so much. In November I got signed of work with stress for two weeks but I suspect it was burnout there was a lot of changes happened that I could not cope with and I ended up collapsing at work after pushing myself to far and got sent home.  So I am exploring autism and what it means with the possibility of hopefully getting a referral for a diagnosis from the doctor after lockdown is over with.

  • Hey, I think that you should see your GP ASAP. They should be able to help with A diagnosis. In the meantime, research more into ASD and the different types. Another way is to speak to your friend who has been diagnosed because you are so similar so to see the effects. 

    Good luck either way.
