So I think I might be autistic????
So I've been looking into it because I'm trying to get my brain stuff together (mental illness, learning disabilities, etc.) before college. And I'm just realizing I relate to sooo many autistic things? I stim, I have serious sensory issue, with bright lights and texture and like everything, I don't look people in the eyes, I avoid touch as much as possible, and I've always had these things???!!! Like how did no one catch on to this while I was a child?
My parents even have frequent conversations about all of my meltdowns as a child. I still have meltdowns now. Why did none of this click until now????
I even almost had a full blow meltdown before school ended because someone took my stuff. And I don't really know what to do about it because it's one thing to tell your parents you think you have an anxiety disorder and another to say you think you've been autistic your whole life. I can't have normal conversations on a good day how am I supposed to have a serious one when I'm freaking out??????? Will someone even diagnose me cause I'm not a small child anymore???
Any advice would be helpful thanks.
