Hey guys.

Im new here. So my neighbour is a carer and she thinks i could be Autistic. I don't go out much i don't like being around people it feels like i don't fit in etc i do also have Anxiety and Depression my anxiety is quite bad I've never really liked being around a lot of people feels like people don't like me so i stay at home quite a lot either watching TV or on the computer i do go out sometimes on my own for a walk with the headphones on i also have the curtains closed all the time and keep myself in my own comfort zone.

Thanks jack.

Hi jbamford92.

Are you being treated for your anxiety and depression, or seeing someone about it?
Getting help with that can improve your life and if they think you need an autism evaluation they will refer you.
Or you can ask for one if you like.

Try some of the self administered tests, and see whether anything looks familiar.

Hi. I am being treated for my anxiety and depression. But doesn't seem to help with my socialising. I was diagnosed with ADHD but was never tested for autism.
