My whole life Ive done things differently. When I was a kid my mom suspected I could be autistic but never got me tested. I was later diagnosed with ADHD and that was that. But Im 17 now and I recently was brought to the attention that a lot of things I do and how I react to everything is very similar to different symptoms of autism. I have been doing a lot of research and now that I have. Everything makes sense about my self. I want to tell my mom but Iḿ also scared to. How should I go about doing this?
Well I don't know your mom so it's hard to say. But you know even if you can't tell your mom you don't need her permission to talk to your GP about getting a diagnosis. If that's what you want.
