I might have autism.

I don’t know how to feel. I have been showing so much symptoms it’s maddening. I’ve been having these symptoms ever since I was a child as well, and they’ve been getting incredibly hard to mask. I can’t get a diagnosis at the moment because of my parents but I want to. I want to so badly.

If anyone wants to know the symptoms I’ve been experiencing for years and years are ;

I repeat words or phrases over and over
Having obsessive interests
I feel the need to have a strict routine and I get really sad when I can’t follow it
Sensitive to loud noises and certain noises, I get panicky and I need to cover my ears
I avoid eye contact
I have a hard time picking up other people’s emotions

I have more but they don’t come to mind at the moment

If any people who are diagnosed with autism want to share their thoughts with me or ask questions please feel free I want to do as much research as I can, more than the research I have already done

My younger brother was diagnosed with autism last year when he was 14. I always knew he was a little different and he felt different too. A diagnosis has helped him get the support that he needs and I hope you can too.
