Hello
I've recently received a lot of comments from my workplace that I don't behave "normally." My best friend has been telling me for a year now that I might be autistic, as I exhibit many of the signs. Since then, I've been doing a lot of research and found a lot of similarities and signs that match my behavior. I haven't talked to my parents about it because we're not on good terms, so I don't really have support. I'm now kindly asking if anyone has tips on what I should do.
Have you taken any of the online tests that are available from reputable organisations? They're not completely foolproof but they can be indicative and they're sometimes used as screening tools by the NHS. I took a few of those on the suggestion of my wife and they all scored me as likely to be autistic, which I was then able to take to my GP to get referred for assessment.
Yes i took multiple one. They have also scored me to be likely autistic
