Hello my name is Kristi and I am self-diagnosed as of very recently and hope to get professionally if possible. I have been diagnosed with OCD in the past and work in mental health field but never thought was on the spectrum until read article and everything fit. One of my coworkers does trainings on Autism and has family member with Austin and when I asked her some questions it was clear she thought for myself. So I researched liked crazy, took self tests which showed very strong likelihood and everything from my past to my present made sense.
I always had trouble with friends and being awkward that is when I wanted to have friends. My parents were upset because most of the time wanted to be alone in my room in my own head and fought them about going over friends. I have always been obsessive with my interests and upset over any change in routine. Except for those very close to me hate to be touched or have people very close or behind me, can go on and on...
Amazed about how many shared experiences I have read. My interests are mental health, philosophy and history. I love animals, currently have 4 dogs. I love fantasy and comic based movies and collect statues and figurines. Hope to find out more information and meet new people.
