Hello

Hello all im new here and would like to introduce myself my name is Steve and i work on the railway doing maintenance work. Ive worked there for about 12 years now i dont like it but the money is good and im excited to buy my first house at the end of the year. Well the main reason i decided to join this community is that i am in a bit of a predicament and was wondering if there is anybody out there that can give me their honest opinion? What it is i recently watched a lot of bbcs documentarys about autism and suddenly realised that most of those chilrens "habbits"? Was like looking at me when i was a child and still now as an adult in most ways anyway i decided to do an aq test out of curiosity expecting maybe a 18 or 20 score but i got a 36 and then with the eq and sq i got 14 and 15 i know they arent proper diagnosis but i feel i cant get a formal diagnosis as my work is classed as safety critical communication and i worry that i will fail my medical if i am diagnosed has anyone got any ideas? And sorry for the rambling i never know what im supposed to say

  • Yes i do over think things i do prefer museums and libraries too i hate parties so awkwrd and theres never anywhere to hide. When i was at school i used to walk round and round the school at lunch and break time until the library opened and i could spend my time there. Yeah i only have 1 friend and he moved 150 miles away and haven't spoke to him for over a year now. I have only had 4 girlfriends and the longest one lasted was 3 months they just get bored or annyed with me i think. Oh wow i didnt think self diagnoses is accepted maybe i will try to do the aq again your way and not try to pick every detail out and just imagine what im like in those situations thank you and sorry if i keep goong on about myself.
