Diagnosis?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm 15 and...
Well, I don't know how to say this... but firstly let me excuse myself if this isn't the right section to post this, couldn't find a better place....
I saw something about it in a forum, and after making extensive research about the topic I realized that I have a great match for what a person with AS should be... and this explains mny things in my life, mainly why I'm so badly misunderstood...... I would like to know how/who is the diagnosis/can diagnose me...

where are you in the worldirst of all, the procedures and differences are vast especially in the US and UK

welcome to the community friend but post your symptoms to we are seasoned aspies here and many have been aspie for many years and will identify and guide you in the correct direction especially Patricia she is very wise and also Greentea

I can offer some advice too especially if you list some characteristics that you have that you consider to be AS. I am no doctor or anything, but I am 44 years old and what most consider the classic AS type. Since my diagnosis, I have come to do a lot of research about AS and the autistic spectrum. I have also developed my view of my autism. The people who know me will immediately recognize me as a strong believer that autism can give us wonderful gifts if we choose to unwrap them, accept them, and nurture them. So I view autism from a very positive standpoint. But, I still recognize the challenges in my life because of AS. However, I focus on the positive things. You will find others believe this way too. And, you will find those here who view AS/autism from a negative standpoint. And, there are those who are neutral on the matter.

Also, I along with many others here, view autism as a difference rather than a disorder, etc. So in order to help you with a route to a diagnosis, I would like to know how you view your probable autism (positive, negative, neutral/ and as a difference or a disorder?).

I'm in Italy by the way...
