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 Guys.
Update on how the process is going, I have an appointment with my GP and HOPEFULLY have my mother attending with me to give some background into the disorder, i mean i'm so scared of telling the doctor due to already having been diagnosed with mental health before...I took the AQ test here on the NAS website and got 40/50. which really shocked me.I am scared but hopeful that my GP will listen and hopefully i can get a diagnosis, i mean the more i chat in the community and research the more i believe i might have it.
This is the same GP who diagnosed me with severe depression and moderate anxiety, so i'm hoping he has an open mind on the matter...
