| Hi, Summer 123. Reading your account, which rang with such sincerity and clarity, took me back to my decade of being in my forties. Whoever said the "life begins at.." was on the money in my experience. I was a very different person at the end of my 40s than the one I was on my 40th birth... |

| Checked your post history *creepy stalker alert* and found an old thread of yours from November 2011. I can't diagnose you, but you tick quite a few boxes for me. Enough so that I don't think you'd be wasting anyone's time if you sought out an official assessment at an adult autism clinic. From my ... |

| Hi I have posted a couple of times in the past, the reason mainly to establish whether or not I am on the autism spectrum or whether I am very introverted/social anxious or whatever. My reason for posting today after a very long time, is because I've decided that I'm not going to keep tormenting mys... |

| Thank you all so much for the responses :D. I appreciate the insight. I can relate to pretty much all that has been said. My ideal situation is feeling happy and content with the person I am and accept my differences as I would any else's. I'm certain that if we accept ourselves, other people find i... |

| Hi :) I have posted here as but it applies to everyone using the website really. I basically wanted to know if anyone has found peace with themselves even with their challenges, and if so how. The reason that I am asking this question, is that I am at a place in my life when I finally want to stop t... |

| Hello everyone :) Thank you all for you input. After reading these post I am thinking that social anxiety has played such a big part in my life, all due to bullying at home and later at school because It was less scary for me to just submit than challenge other people. It must have been on my mind a... |

| "good tip, think about negative things in your past, and whhy you reacted to it the way you did, might help you to distinguish if you relate" Also that was a really good tip, and it made me think. I was petrified of upsetting and making people angry since I started school (just before I was 5),so I ... |

| Thanks xCarlax. :) I had never heard of pdd-nos, before I read your post, but have just had a quick look on-line. It makes sense. There is definitely something in my family and anxiety, depression, phobias, black and white thinking and sensory issues all run through my family, but nothing that ticks... |

| Thank you lastnightilie, that was really helpful. I would actually love to hear more if that is okay. You have nailed my dilemma perfectly. I do want answers, and sometimes I feel that it is social anxiety other times I feel that there is so much more to it. I have people in my family with traits so... |

| Thank you everyone for your replies, I really appreciate it :D I just realised how much fear of rejection socially and feeling left out, has effected me, I have experienced a lot of it. I was anxious that no one would reply so it was a big relief to find these replies. I am in the UK and I am very c... |
