Hello everyone,
My name is Lucas and I'm 23 years old. I have always been a quirky, like one of a kind (not on the good way) entire life, but never knew why. Last week, I came across Asperger's Syndrome. And the more I read about it, the more it made sense. It was as if they were talking specifically about me.
As a kid, I displayed all the symptoms and still do. Although, I have improved on my social skills, that feeling of not belonging is maybe stronger than ever. Out of curiosity, I did the AQ test twice. On one I scored 37 and 40 on the other. I have also done the Aspie Quiz (even though, I have heard it is not very trustworthy) and scored 128 aspie and 62 NT.
I have an appointment with a psychiatrist on Friday, but I just can't get the thought that I may or not be autistic. I can't focus anywhere else. I just need to know. Have anyone else been and experienced this pre-assessment anxiety? I don't really have anyone to open to about this.
Thank you for taking the time in helping me,
Lucas
