Dang hope you’re doing okay and coping with it. Hope you can get a diagnosis if that’s the route you choose

I’m socially awkward I guess? Sometimes not. I don’t know. I am pretty sure I’m sort of autistic. Thanks :grinning:

I’ve been told I’m a little slow by some others have called me really smart. I had seizures as a kid and I breathe with my mouth. I’m also gay which alot of autistic people are LGBT. I assume I am honestly. I also think and talk funny mostly. I act different than alot of people

It’s possible I’m not though. I don’t particularly care to make eye contact either. I avoid it unless I’m upset

Lol true I actually see it as a good thing tbh. I don’t know that much about it but I kind of view it like a video game where you have a certain amount of points that you can spend on certain attributes.

Like for example in Mario kart different characters have different stats like toad is a faster character but he has reduced strength, and another cart might have lower speed but better handling etc.

I feel like autistic people are kind of like people who spent less points on social development etc and spent them on different stats lol like decreased social stats but increased intelligence stats or focus or some area of life. Idk just my theory lol

You can ask your psychiatrist to refer you to a state hospital to be interviewed by a panel of autism specialists/whatever. Your mom/dad will have to be there to give a history of when you were little up till now, I think. Have fun.

Thanks I appreciate that! I’m gonna not do that for now just because people have used my schizophrenia diagnosis to try to control me so much in the past so… unfortunately I can’t even really tell anyone right now. Just going to keep it a secret and study it as much as I can. It helps me understand myself much better though. Thanks!! :smiley:
