Hi i'm new to this website ive been doing a little research lately bout autism cause My Aunty said she noticed some of the signs in me. These are the things I struggle with every day Just wondering if you guys think it sounds like autism or not.

1. sensory problem to noise is unbearable within being up for 5min ive all ready got an overload and start getting very stressed. At this stage when people talk it sounds weird it all most like there in my head yelling but at the same time like there talking is muffled underwater. It also sounds like there talking very fast. I start to actually get literally dizzy and confused.
2.Every night I find it hard to sleep I have this ritual were I re adjust everything cause everything is causing me to itch or be uncomfortable or hurting me this can go on anywhere up to an hour.
3.I love dark quiet rooms and heavy blankets on me, but feet have to be out. Heavy blankets soothe me.
4. If i'm walking down the hallway to go and do something and someone stops me to talk to me or ask me a question I cant really handle this I start to get really annoyed and I'm also the same if say I plan to do the dishes and I walk into the kitchen to find my hubby doing them at that point I get stressed and feel like im in quick sand.
5. I zone out but yet im fully aware of what im doing its really strange.
6. If i'm watching something I can not have people talking to me otherwise I can not focus and I start to notice every little noise its like my head is going to explode and theirs to much movement to
7. I remember number plates really well I can still remember my mums from 4 years ago I often recognise a car not from the colour or shape but the number plates.
8. all the way up to 19 I played pretend games with myself which I preferred doing
9. I hate going out with people I prefer to shop on my own and go to a cafe by myself and the movies to basically everything I love to do on my own there is only one exception I can do some of those things with my hubby
10. every time i'm in a social situation I end up sitting by myself with my arms folded and clenching my arms cause I feel uncomfortable around people
11. I often have trouble looking at people in the eyes so i tend to stare at the ground
12. When someones praying I can not concentrate on the prayer if my eyes are closed I not sure why though, so I tend to keep my eyes open again looking at the ground.
13. i'm very good at visual pictures in my head Thats how I recall anything but I also can pretend i'm having a conversation with some one and have it feel so real I do know its not real but its just so vivid in my head that It could all most fool me

thank you for reading I know your ant doctors but just curious about your opinions
 
These all do sound like classic symptoms. How old are you, if I may ask? I would recommend getting tested, if possible, as an official diagnosis can open up the door to helpful resources (education, counseling, etc.).

Welcome, by the way! :cool:
 
Hi thank you for the reply i'm 25 I have children to which I love, but find noise unbearable sometimes. The noise gets so much I want to scream some days any suggestions on that would be good
