I went to a psychologist for depression. She said I might have autism, and that she would like to "investigate further". She noticed this in ~30 minutes of talking.
Should I just kill myself? If you have autism, the situation is entirely fucked anyway, and it's literally incurable - people can spot it from a mile away, and nobody even bothers to pretend that they aren't subhuman - just like Downies. So it seems like you might as well do it.
You can always try to make life a little better now that you know what's causing your struggle.
Or give up right away.
autism can lead to bux man, milk that shit.
>not embracing it and becoming a comfy NEET on autismbux who does what he wants
Yeah but I can't, that's the whole point. It's an incurable disease. All I've ever wanted in my life is to be a normal person like everyone else. If that's not possible, why bother?
sounds like she is putting you on the path to a lifetime of NEETbux. Don't let your autism fuck this up.
ngl user I wanted to make the point that we can't judge the situation because we don't know you irl.
but reading your post it is painfully obvious you indeed have severe autism and coping disorder.
so yes kys kill yourself aspie
you could just be an aspie which isnt that bad, you can still blend in
dont freak out until you get a full proof result
That's not possible but you might try to explore life a bit more to see if there's more into it that you find interesting.
Wanting to be "normal" is weird to be honest.
I sometimes wonder if this is me
I dont think im autistic but theres some things that really make me wonder
Specifically when I interact with people I sperg out. Like I get really serious and panicky and I cant laugh, smile, relax, I just freeze up and start panicking really badly. Almost like an autistic version of a panic attack. Like sensory overload.
Just be thankful you're not schizo user, its like autism on meth
Making the thread twice means you have autism.
You're a lost cause
You just don't realize the opportunities you have.
Keep your chin up.
i have undiagnosed autism because im good enough actor to suppress it. Takes a lifetime of watching movies and trying to mimick real people. Fucking tiring shit i swear.
nothing per se bad with being an autist user wtf
Why dont you just have sex with your psychologist? or do acid together? Why are you even going there?
You've been autistic all of your life, people will treat you the same they always have. Nothing will change.
Any pointers?
Sure, but I've been living with the hope that things'd get better. Now I know they won't.
>go to the doctor for an antibiotic prescription
>he asks me what i do for a living
>tell him i work in an office
>"do you quite enjoy working in a controlled and predictable environment?"
>be at a work meeting
>eating some jelly beans that were in the middle of the table
>woman i have never talked to before asks me if i enjoy eating "plain" food
people are always randomly baiting me into an autism diagnosis
That's the thing. They can all notice it. If that's how it's gonna be, why bother?
what's odd is that i had been in therapy from thirteen to eighteen, and that diagnosis has never been suggested to me once. i understand though, it feels like you have no chance when everyone is prejudging you.
there is various degrees of autism, very mild forms too. she has only noticed a) because shes a trained professional and b) because you told her about yourself and the issues that made you visit her.
you don't talk about that to strangers since its very intimate. no matter if you have autism or not, you'll be fine man. literally nothing about you will change but maybe it will help you gain a better understanding about yourself
This happened to me about a couple of years ago OP, but for something else I was getting diagnosed with. Neurologist's all "and I'd like to send you for an autism assessment user.", and next thing I know, diagnosed with tism. Don't fucking fear it though - my life has been the best it's ever been since, and keeps getting better. All it means is you'll learn a fuck ton of ways to be scarily better than virgin neurotypicals while making sure your big awakened autistic brain doesn't overheat and go to shit because there's music playing in the pub. It's been my experience that if you're up-front about yourself, especially if it surprises them, every employer's going to think you're a genius savant, and autistic neetbux means unemployment is never a hardship ever again because you're literally disabled. Yet to find any negatives. Just answers to a lot of very old questions.
This user. Make a good out of a somewhat bad situation. It doesn't have to be a bad situation either. Depends on how you use your autism.
This. It's like seeing in black and white your whole life, then someone turning on the color.
This sounds like a horrible cope. You'll still be color-blind, and you still won't have any chance at leading a normal life.
Do tell what those 'fuck ton of ways' are.
you were always autistic. you were never not autistic. nothing has changed. just try to improve yourself the way you would have previously.
That's not the question. The question is, if it turns out I am autistic, is there any hope left? Because the reason I kept on until now was because I hoped things'd get better.
i have high functioning autism. My IQ is about average but sensory and emotional problems hold me back. It's taking me seven years and 15 hours a week of tutoring but I'm finally getting a bachalors degree in business.
I can't express complex thoughts very well verbally, but I learned to type them because i took english. Math is also difficult, but I basically just memorize formulas and do things again and again and again. Things get better if you have goals.
play your cards right user and you may get free money for the rest of your life
You seem pretty normal
I have autism and I have a bunch of friends and no depression. People who I tell I'm autistic for the first time are always surprised, because I've learned good social skills in most areas. It's a struggle but you can make progress with effort.
