    Am I Autistic?

    Hey, i'm 17 and i think that i might be autistic. I can't explain the reason (cause i don't know it) but i can't talk to my parents about this. It just seems impossible to me. So, i can't get any professional diagnosis for now. So, i'm trying to put a self-diagnosis. Here are my scores on...

    Forming/maintaining routines?

    I am a teenaged, self diagnosed, "high functioning" autistic girl. I'm not certain that I have autism, but I do have good reason to believe it. I Cannot. Maintain. Routines. I try and I fail and I try again and I fail again. I've had every app out there, paper checklists, journals; the works...

    First Day of Assessment

    Today was the first day of my assessment for ASD. I wanted a formal assessment because I don't necessarily fit some of the ASD boxes in a way that would make me comfortable to self-diagnose. As @Nummulite mentioned in another thread, the process of getting assessed is quite frustrating. You...

    I'? Crious as to if I might be on the autistic spectrum and would like opinions

    Hi, so this is probably gonna be long and kinda all over the place so I'm sorry in advance. I'm 22 and female. Over the last few months I've come to realize I might be mildly autistic?? I don't want to self-diagnose but I don't have the chance for any type of proper diagnosis with my life...

    Hello and...guidance for self-diagnosis?

    Hello community! I am a 46 year old female who has a daughter newly diagnosed with autism and ADHD (she is almost 11). I'm also a Speech-Language Pathologist, and I'm feeling more and more like I could self-diagnose for autism, maybe even ADHD. But I feel like such an imposter! Or maybe I'm...

    Some psych exam quizzes suck

    Hi All. Just need to rant here. I'm doing research on Learned Optimism - the cognitive behavioral technique by Martin Seligman in the hopes that I can help my boyfriend work through some of his anxiety. It has some exercises in it that I've done and they're pretty helpful. Along the way I found...

    Hello, everyone. I am a newbie here.

    Hello, You may call me "Chase" for short. I am in my 20's and live on the East Coast. When I was still in school, they suggested that my parents get me tested for ASD because I was showing signs. However, being a different time, they took it as a negative and I was never officially...

    New here (wondering who am I)

    Hi everyone. I study at the Law faculty in Belgrade (Serbia), got an Aspie boyfriend, interested in languages (apart from English, which is not my native language, I learned some French, German, Serbian and currently studying Arabic). I'm gonna turn 21 in a couple of days. I scored AQ-35, ASSQ...

    Self-Diagnosed Female Having Troubles Getting a Psychologist...

    I've always felt different from others. For me, it was like I was a sheep living in a world of wolves in sheep's clothing. They all act normal and carefree, whilst I'm horrified to interact with them because they all look like predators and I'm prey. Of course, I'm the only one who notices this...

    New Member Alert: Matt

    Hey everyone! As the title says, my name is Matt and I'm new to these here parts. I'm actually slightly surprised that I hadn't found this place via Google before today, but I guess I hadn't put in the right search criterion before or something. I'm excited to join this forum and hopefully...

    All away from Sabah, Malaysia...

    Hi everyone, I'm Lit. Self-diagnosed aspie (also LGBT) when I was 24. It was a relief to have an answer to my bad social skills, but frustrating to know that my brain is forever wired this way. Autism, in general, is still a powerful stigma in my dogmatic country and will be for a very long...

    I suspect I have ASD - would love input

    Hi, I'm a 23y/o female, doing a clinical/research master in neuropsychiatry. About a year ago I had a discussion with my mother about how disappointed she was that as a teenager I would barely go out or meet up with other people my age, and since I became older this trend has only gotten...

    Coming out as Aspie to mother

    So I have spent the last 2 weeks doing research on ASD, because an acquittance suggested I might have autism. After doing a lot of research ( I have a whole composition note book filled with symptoms and whether or not I share those symptoms ) I've self-diagnosed as Aspie. I want to get an...

    As daughter as father

    Hi! My name is Afonso Henrique, I´m originally from Rio de Janeiro and nowadays live in João Pessoa, Paraíba Brazil and I´m 37 years old. I´ve always been extremely shy, very distracted but observant, intelligent but naive and perfectionist. It was amazing how may seven years old daughter has...

    Greetings from Hungary!

    Hi, I'm Flóra a 19 year old "fake aspie" (most people think I'm just using Aperger's as an excuse to my behavioural issues and meltdowns which they perceive as childish tantrums). I really want a diagnosis but I think I don't have to explain how much of a complex process that is. I like...

    Good morning

    Hi. I'm Eric...a 51 year old male, married, 3 kids and have only in the past 2 years started unlocking the secrets to things that have long haunted me. For example... I have a high IQ, love math especially, read math journals for fun yet never had an "adult" job. I was in the Army and loved...

    I may have had Epilepsy -Complex Partial Seizure- (Need help/advice if it could be)

    I realized it today, I searched online to the reason why I feel blurry and confused in social situations and I noticed several symptoms on Web MD about Complex Partial Seizure and it fits. First I thought it was just general anxiety/social and my aspergers combined. But now I realized it could...

    Do these scores really indicate Aspergers?

    Hi all, I recently posted about the frustrations of even getting the ball rolling on a formal diagnosis, but I thought in the mean time I'd see if you might look at my scores on the various tests and see if they seem to indicate ASD. I know it's not official, but I need to get closer to an...
