    My name is Jess, I think I may be on the spectrum

    So the next part of the assessment is going to be all about sleep. I am not sure how sleep plays into autism but I do have sleep issues.

    What does everyone else's day look like? If it's okay to ask. I am not sure if it's a part of autism but I have an extremely hard time just getting through everyday life and simple tasks.

    I'm not so much worried about getting a check money wise, being that I could get a check for my MDD diagnosis. I want to know so I can quit questioning if I have it or not.

    My name is Jess, I think I may be on the spectrum

    Reasons that I believe I may be autistic: Socially, I can't look people in the eyes, I don't understand social cues at all, I cannot start or continue even casual conversations. I have the hardest time finding clothes to wear. Forget it if the stitches aren't just right, if it doesn't look or...
