    Help! Am I autistic?

    Hello friends, I'm new to this forum and to the idea of being autistic. I'm 22, married, and chronically ill with Fibromyalgia.

    Hello, my name is Tom and I’m 30 years old.

    I suspect I have ASD - would love input

    Hi, I'm a 23y/o female, doing a clinical/research master in neuropsychiatry. About a year ago I had a discussion with my mother about how disappointed she was that as a teenager I would barely go out or meet up with other people my age, and since I became older this trend has only gotten...

    Do you think I should try to get a diagnosis?

    I have difficulty connecting with my emotions. To compensate, I will ask others what an appropriate reaction is to any given situation so I can determine if I'm having it. I don't like being touched unless I'm initiating, it gives me a crawly gross feeling. Sudden loud noises are distressing...
