I think it is really up to you how you want to define yourself. There aren't hard and fast rules around this. I used to identify strictly as lesbian but had some fantasies about men. Once I actually had sex with a man, I realized that "bisexual" fit me more accurately. It is ok if you don'...

I am a bit confused because I am 37 and these screening tools are for children. He said to complete them based on how I remember myself as a child. Was anyone else diagnosed as ...

I relate to this so much, and I am sorry you are going through this. I grew up in the 80s and everyone thought I was just extremely withdrawn and shy with a few odd quirks like grimacing and hand-flapping.
