    Is there online tests or something similar to see if you are possibly on the spectrum as they say ?

    You seems to know what you are talking about and I always feel like well yes of course that’s how life is.

      It’s hard though. A key criteria (at least in the UK) how much it affects you day-to-day. My father probably has it and passed along a lot of guidance that I now recognise as coping mechanisms/symptom management strategies. Day to day I’ve got it in hand, it’s only when the big storms come that I struggle, and that doesn’t fit with the diagnostic approach.

      Yes. Lookup raads-r autism test. It’s almost as good as a psychiatrist at diagnosing. If you score high there, chances are high a psychiatrist would as well.
