from what I know it's possible, just depends on how autistic one is.... Although I might well be wrong

@KioCo right. That's what I was thinking, I ain't no expert at diagnosing but sometimes I feel like I have the symptoms of one.

@HermannFegelein To be honest dude, I think autism is something a bit too complex for a self diagnosis.

What symptoms are you referring to?

HermannFegelein · 26-30, M

@KioCo that's true. I find it strange to make eye contact with people. I'm pretty sure this is just extreme fear of being judged negatively. I also have a hard time speaking fluently yet I know how to speak English. I'm just super focused on my thoughts often or whatever work I'm performing at work or school. Like you said its probably insulting for me to say I am autistic seeing how it's hard to self diagnose.

@HermannFegelein yea, I'm pretty sure there are a whole lot of psychological issues that cause similar symptoms, I recommend you got have yourself tested
