I'm overly emotional too, to the point that my emotions are so intense sometimes they almost physically hurt. And I cry when watching most movies :oops:

I'd say so. I was so intense as a kid or teenager.
Does anyone else get the impression they're sort of growing out of their autism because of the diminished intensity of special interests and doing better socially as you get older?

Definitely. I attribute a lot of the bullying I had at school to me talking endlessly about stuff I liked, so I got the message that looking obsessed about something won't make you exactly popular. I still get obsessed about stuff though

You sound a lot like me and I've been officially diagnosed. In order to meet the criteria for ASD you must show impairment in social interaction and repetitive and restricted behaviours and interests. While you seem to show some traits in the former, you don't say anything about the latter. Do you s...

Yes when I was getting diagnosed I was feeling very self conscious, but that's normal autistic behaviour I'm guessing - feeling all the time like you have to control your behaviour and how you come across cause it doesn't naturally explain itself? During my assessment I wasn't acting autistic at all...

Aside from social ineptitude, what other symptoms are you aware of? Knowing whether you are NT or on the spectrum will help guide you in the right direction.

Hello everyone! I'm new here and I've suspected being on the spectrum for a while. Actually I've been obsessing about it for the last year and a half.
