Hey all, hope this is okay to post.
I’ve recently started to realise I may have autism - I originally thought it was ADHD but when I started looking at the crossover I realise that autism might be playing a role too!
I was just wondering what were the signs that originally made you realise you have/might have autism? Especially if you were diagnosed as an adult rather than as a child.
And a follow on question - looking back what did you do as a child that was likely due to autism? I want to get tested but seeing other peoples experiences I’m worried about the process - my memory is so rubbish I’m worried they’ll think I’m just wasting their time.
Thanks in advance!
My ex's friend is a carer working in hospice, she used to visit my ex regurarly, girls do that apparently, and after few of them she had a talk with my ex about possibility of me having autism, and together they convinced me to get a referal from my GP for tests. But then, for me, it was only empty words, until January this year, and joining this forum.
