society does.
Yeah. That's really bad that that's still on theSite. The doctor responsible for that and me getting fucking rubella last year was struck off yesterday and surprise surprise gone to the US.
What does?
Respond in which way?
If you think that I am not being clear, well human interaction always is two-way. Please end the teenage ethics. I'm 26, not a teenager.
Then, as an adult, why have you not taken this up with your doctor?
Just to let you know that the article has been edited. For those who may be concerned, that whole section is a high priority for a complete overhaul.
How so? because i am formal in my tone? I am who I am. You cannot and should not change that.
Because I haven't got round to it yet.
Perhaps appreiciating complexities and differences in the world around you is key. This is how things are.
So it's not really a bother to you then. Which is good.
it does bother me.
But you haven't said why. You only laid down a hunch, not anything concrete.
No, I have not.
I want the same common wisdom as everybody else.
We cant offer founded psycology as none of us are trained professionals.
Quite a few people in here have shown you tolerance.
I dont expect people to grovel to me.
I'm not saying your issue is nonsense.
For what its worth, since having 2 of my children diagnosed with it, I see it in a lot of people. I think theres a hell of a lot of undiagnosed autistic people out there who still manage to lead good lives. They may just have people think theyre a bit wierd or lack social skills etc, but in probability, theyre on the spectrum.
For these people its debateable whether a diagnosis would even be helpful.
I think a diagnosis is useful in childhood because early intervention is key to getting round some of the issues autistic people have, but im not sure what theyd even do for an adult.
well you should
Then go and see your doctor. This is a site for (mainly) teens seeking advice or discussion. None of us are qualified to give you the diagnosis you seek and so our advice, again, is to go and see your doctor.
:yes: Someone did once suggest that it's possible I'm austic too (loads of people on dad's side of the family have it) but it's something I've never followed up.
One of my friends who is autistic is known by quite a few people for being weird. (he also talks far too much)
It's may also be that a label of autism or ASD might not be something negative but could help explain to someone why they seem to find things different to other people. That's a label they can choose to use if they want to or not, but it's possible it could them to explain issues or challenges to people they know.
It may also help when looking for help through the NHS, or in finding other people with similar issues to discuss what they are experiencing. I think all of that is a personal choice but it's a possible reason why an adult diagnosis may be really useful.
But again it's a personal choice and something that a Doctor needs to help with. There are organisations and research centres that specialise in helping adults who find out they are autistic later on in life Kira, so speaking to your GP would be a great first step to accessing those services.
Yes you are. Learn tolerance and healthy interaction.
Undiagnosed in which sense?
