I think, after a lot of research, that I might be on the autism spectrum. I'm not really sure and I'm doubting myself a lot. I have a list of things that I think make it so, could someone read them and tell me if it sounds like I shouldn't be doubting as much?

-i have to create facial expressions every second, and it's different depending on who I'm with. It's tiring sometimes. Makes me a decent actress though.

-I have somatic empathy where when someone is feeling down, instead of sympathizing or something similar, I take on their feelings and I can't stop it. It's caused me a lot of problems.

-ive had a lot of panic attacks idk the cause of

-depression n anxiety because I feel I'm always doing something wrong, whether it's missing social rules or doing life wrong, taking care of myself wrong, everything

-i have diagnosed ADHD and they're often seen together

-I have a hard time speaking sometimes

-i feel awful when I mess up a route I've had (when I can establish one, or when one is set for me like school, so snow days have stressed me out so much)

-obsessed with certain things consistently

I'm currently feeling really awful cause I dont know what's wrong with me or what's going on in my head please help

@linvi I’m not sure if replying to your own message pushes it up in the queue. I can’t give you answers to these questions because I’m not on the spectrum.

@linvi

I am going through the same thing right now (and since last year too) and I’m not diagnosed yet but I think the best thing to do is reach out to a health professional. I plan on doing this but as of right now my parents are likely against it.

@Pearle

same situation for me. I just need some guidance on if I should even consider looking into it more
