Do you have autism?(poll)

Another poll

 

[Rapière]

I'm 95% sure I have autism, but was never formaly diagnosed, nor tested for it. My parents never bothered taking me to a therapist, hell, I don't think they even know what autism is really. My life would have been much easier, had I known from an early age on what was wrong with me. Since I had no refernce point to assume otherwise, I would instead gaslight myself into thinking that I was normal and blame my (conscious) self for not trying hard enough, which would lead to a sprial of anxiety and self-loathing. Even now that I'm writing this, I feel like a faker for claiming to have autism without an official diagnosis, but many of my symptoms are so obvious that I just can't live in denial any longer.

Not a single person in my life knows about this. I'm a shell of a person. -- Never nask, kids.

Am not sure which option to pick. I don't think I am..? I mean there are other mental illnesses I suspect I have like BPD, GAD, depression, panic disorder, ADHD, OCD. But i have never been diagnosed.

[FuneralCry]

Yes. I'm certainly not meant to exist in this cruel and hellish world.

Yes

Not sure what I should put whether I was diagnosed or not, early on in my life I was diagnosed because there were several signs but after going to the doctor and running some tests my family gave up with the doctor for some reason and relied on religion instead. Not sure if there was ever a diagnoses but I definitely feel like I am, though it's easier to hide it than back then. I have been diagnosed with several other things after I left home but haven't gotten that checked out.

Yeah, Diagnosed at 3 years old. My parents didn't even tell me about my diagnosis until I was maybe 13 or 14, which I'm still a bit upset at them for but I guess I would've been too young to understand Autism prior to my teen years.

I'm not diagnosed, but all signs point to autistic.

 

[passivethought121]

I'm not diagnosed, and I'm 70% sure I'm not, but I heavily relate to many negative sentiments that autistic and other neurodivergent people make on their negative human experience. I don't like to self diagnose so I conclude I'm just "incorrect".

 

[EternalShore]

not neurotypical but not autistic either! hehe~

 

[Dolphin55]

Makes me sad to see this…the rate of autism in the general population is like 1%, so this is an extremely high rate
autistic people are often really good people, it sucks how many end up here compared to neurotypical :(

 

[BlackMoon]

Multiple people think I'm neurodivergent (including someone who is herself a diagnosed autist) but personally I don't believe it, for me I'm just a stupid looser.

Present.

 

[CannabisMuncher]

I am neurodivergent but im not autistic. There are different things considered neurodivergent. I personally have ADHD. ^^

 

[TheShadowKing]
