Hi i'm emily and i've recently discovered i likely have autism. I've been suspected for most of my life but i'd say like many other women here, were never fully assessed or diagnosed.

I'm very scientific in nature i like to form my own opinions and beliefs. I'm very interested in biology, history, medicine, and lolita (not the book a niche japanese fashion based on victorian and rococo style).

I'm diagnosed with Dyslexia, social anxiety, and depression.

A bit about me:
I've always felt ilke i just didn't fit in with other people and i couldn't figure out why they didn't like me back, took advantage of me, and made fun out of me. I was pretty much selectivity mute when i was in elementary school because i had just learned to avoid everyone else. i only spoke to my one best friend, and a few teachers.

I came to the conclusion that i'm autistic because I get overly stressed about little things and they'd bulid up and bulid up, untill i'd just shut down and reset in almost like a nervous break down type way.

I've started to try being "me" more recently because i was tired of hiding in fear of ridicule and i made some friends that were like me and when i expressed this "nervous breakdown" they told me it sounds like an autistic melt down (they were autistic). Then i sort of realized that i may have autism and i went of a research frenzy and found that i relate to alot of things that were symptoms of autism. I confronted my mother and she confessed that she had want to get me assessed for autism by a doctor but my dad wouldn't let her.

So here i am i hope self diagnosis are welcome in this community i wanted to join to find comfort because it was sort of a shock to my system.
