My name is Forrest.
I'm not sure if I actually have autism. However, all of the symptoms line up exactly, and it gives me so much clarity that I feel almost certain that I do. I joined this site in hopes that self diagnosis is sufficient. For the record, I am not, and have never been in, the UK. However, the other sites either require money or only do video chats, which I'm not comfortable with. So, I really hope to be accepted here. If I'm not, I apologize.
Hi Forrest,and welcome from England.
I also think symptoms make me somewhere on spectrum aswell. With first assessment last year(which friend and ex suggested). First assessment said i was but needed clarification,now they say i could have "something like Autism"(vague!),or ADHD(i dont agree with that,and wouldnt take meds for it anyway). Await those 2 and other 2 in team deciding-bet will be repeated mental health diagnoses of last 30+ yrs(also dont accept diagnoses of MH-as not relevant for me,and damaging).
