Feeling like a fraud

Hi

following months of doubt I decided to contact a Psychologist and we had a chat. He has told me that there is sufficient evidence Togo for a full assessment which is booked. However, even though I can look at how I behave and have it explained I have this doubt, fear that it may be wrong and I am fitting symptoms/ behaviours to suit. I scored 9 on AQ10 and 37 on AQ50.

The more I read and how difficult some people’s lives are mine doesn’t seem that bad, hence the feeling like a fraud. I may be overthinking this as well.

Part of me is frightened of being identified the other frightened of not being as it explains who I am and that’s important. 

is this typical?  Sorry if it seems jumbled

    Perhaps review some of the numerous videos on autism on youtube.  there are many facets to autism and it affects different people differently.  perhaps look a the descriptions of autism in the youtube videos and write down anything in you life that is similar .. there are a number of things that I thought were personal quirks, but area actually typical of people with autism.
