Hiii I suspect I'm autistic
BluePanPan Friday

I only attract friends that are autistic diagnosed by professionals. I'm kind of scared to get diagnosed because I feel it will limit what I can do in life and I wish to pursue a lot. I just need help navigating autism.

Hi there. Thanks for reaching out. 

Whilst it’s your decision on whether to pursue a diagnosis or not, I do understand your apprehension. If you did decide it’s what you wanted to do, then it could help you understand yourself more and open doors to receiving support. 

Perhaps a chat with your friends could help you come to a decision. This is your journey and I wish you the best 🌹

Apologies for the late response. I get that it's just in my family it's kinda stigmatized.

I have the same fears being an adult and thinking it’s a possibility. I see it at ways we can learn to navigate doing things more authentically and with more creativity.

In a lot of situations like with education I feel it will limit you.
