You self diagnosed or diagnosed by a doctor?
Neither. The doctor who gave me the ADOS said I wasn't autistic and that I seemed like a schizoid, partially because I did well with the children's book with no words and the part where you have to make up a story with the random objects, because schizoids supposedly have very rich fantasy lives.
So I got assessed at a graduate school of clinical psychology (get the results in a week), and I have an appointment with a specialist in January. If both of them say no autism, then I'll believe it, but I don't trust the ADOS. It seems like a smart autistic person could easily fail the test.
