Hi, My Name's Lucy and I MIGHT have Aspergers/Autism?

Hello all.

Im not completely sure if i belong her or not? I've previously been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, OCD etc.
I was asked by my boss today, if i have ever found out if i may be autistic/have aspergers syndrome?
Now i was confused! For me, i didnt believe i had it and decided to take an online test to just have a rough idea of if it was in anyway LIKELY and i got 35/50, my boss said i should see because i tend to not be able to read people at all, in any way and always say the most inappropriate things, but i think i'm doing okay!

I mean i enjoy socialising but i also enjoy time to myself, i have a very small social circle at the most! and have had to move jobs due to these kinds of things before, but i have NO CLUE if i even HAVE it. or if i'm just.. me? if that makes any sense!

I have not had a diagnosis yet, i intend to try and speak to my family GP as soon as i can to query it, but in the mean time i'd love to hear from some other people who have it who may be able to help me in my process?

Thank you for your time

Regards

Lucy

    Hi

    I am new too. I did the autistic test and scored 43/50. I've known all my life that something was not quite right with me. I've adressed it by talking to my GP and he agrees that i need a referral. He said it couild take up to 12 months. Is that normal?

    Because now i've become more aware of my difficulties, i'm worried i'm going to isolate myself, through fear. Aspart of me right now feels that i wish i was ignorant to it but another part of me wants to move forward and 12 months seems too long.

    Any advice to cope with this, please!!!
