I'm undiagnosed, but I think I have Autism and been having it .. my social and language skills have gotten worse over the years. I'm 23 and I started a job about a month ago.. I'm very quiet and barely speak.. but I pay close attention to the actual work. The other workers don't like the fact I'm not outgoing like them.. and how I really handle myself. My question is how do I get diagnosed if I do have Autism .. here's some more backround information.

I avoid social situations as much as possible. Ever since I was younger, I randomly play with my hair.. mostly when I'm tired, but normally without even thinking.. I drift off into space sometimes. My speech is slurred when I'm around people, sometimes I stutter. I get nervous and people think I'm either doing drugs or something's not right. I look like I'm 18, and not 23.. It's hard to meet people and make friends, and I just don't know what to do .. any thoughts or suggestions ? Thanks

Welcome to wrong planet. I hope you find some relief here from your day to day trials.
To find out if you are autistic, you can see if you fit the criteria, visit a psychologist or just read and post on this site.
