I am quite a smart girl, with above average levels in everything. I joke around a lot but recently my (Undiagnosed) Anxiety has made me housebound... Going to school on a normal day stresses me out! I have horrible sleeping habits because I can't switch my brain off in a night. I am petrified of my wardrobe! I keep thinking there is somebody inside it. Sometimes the fear isn't that bad but sometimes I panic! My teacher thinks have panic attacks. I think I do, too. What I don't think I have is ADHD, ASD or Asbergers. I know ADHD and Asbergers are on the Autistic Spectrum but whatever. I know I have bad anxiety problems. That's not really an uncertainty anymore...
Anyways, I looked on the NHS website for symptoms. I'm going to tell you why I think I don't have ASD in each point and then you tell me if you think I have ASD or not.
Preferring to avoid spoken language
This is SO wrong! I speak more than anybody I know! I can never keep my mouth shut!
Speech that sounds very monotonous or flat
Again, i'm always laughing and making jokes. My voice isn't flat at all! I can't keep the damn thing straight!
Speaking in pre-learned phrases
Everyone speaks in pre learned phrases from time to time, that's why phrases exist!
Seeming to talk at people, instead of a two way conversation
I crack jokes... that's kind of talking at people but I crack jokes to hear people's reaction. I like talking to people. It keeps me sane.
Being unable to understand sarcasm. That's SO wrong in so many levels Reacting negatively to being asked to do something I can't say no to people! It's a genuine problem which makes me kindly accept any requests made by people Not being aware or being overly aware of personal space. Again, I don't really think this applies to me. I do give a lot of hugs though... Little interest in interacting with other people *Obviously* that is wrong! Not understanding how people interact Wrong
I like to keep my questions on the long side as I like reading other people's problems (the longer the better) <'S WHAT SHE SAID! Sorry, i'm just an immature high school student
