Any advice for someone questioning whether they are neurotypical or not? I’ve been reading the book Is This Autism? by Donna Henderson, but I still feel there is a lot of ambiguity. I consistently score high enough on the intake questionnaires for diagnosis, and have similar scores to autistic populations, but … I just don’t know. I’m not even sure I would trust an expert if they diagnosed me, though - I feel there is so much room for misinterpretation.
EDIT: Oh, and I meant to add, I’m sorry to hear about your experiences - I would tend to agree you’re a good egg and have done great, so glad you’re here with us and for your perspective and influence 💕 It sounds like you’re a tough cookie, too!
Great question! If you’re questioning it, you’re likely to be autistic. There is room for interpretation, although at the same time there’s lots of small traits that don’t hit the books. When I googled my condition I found a long list of traits and my jaw dropped cos it was me on a page, although people can have a hodge podge of traits and to varying degrees.
I’d say it’s always worth getting an assessment because there’s lots of small things that could make your life far easier. Things like coloured backgrounds, software, tinted glasses can hugely benefit you. It’s hard getting a diagnosis as an adult though.
And thanks that’s very kind ❤️
