My name is Kenzie. I am new here and am self-diagnosed autistic. I was wondering if anyone could help me decide if it is worth getting an official diagnosis. I have several autistic traits including avoiding eye contact, not catching on to social ques, not understanding jokes and sarcasm, special interest, stimming, wearing the same clothing with familiar textures, oversharing, etc. I could go on.
I have been diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder, Bi Polar, anxiety, and CPTSD. Autism just seems a much more accurate fit for me, but I know it won't be accepted as valid by my loved ones. But I guess I don't need their validation? IDK! I'm so lost!
