Before:
- active, but odd in social interaction
- happy with my poor social life, didn't feel I need one
- happy with my special interests
- thought I have just anxiety, went to multiple experts that missed ASD
After:
- becoming more passive in social interaction, trying to judge when I will seem "not normal" and avoid these situations
- unhappy with my social life, tried to force friendships which in fact ended some good relationships I had
- feeling guilt when spending much time for special interest
So, I think it would be better if I didn't know that I have ASD. How about you.
I'm just self-diagnosed and want to stay on it because I want to study medicine and am not sure will I be refused if I say I have ASD.
