Hi everyone,
Just found this site anyway I am 21 female, I have a younger brother who is 17 years old and has Autism and a mild/moderate intellectual disability with it.
I have been wondering on and off for many years if I have a mild form of high functioning AS I am not sure have spoken with my mum about it all and she thinks it is possible I suffer from anxiety/social anxiety very badly and panic attacks and do have some trouble in social things I also become alittle obsessed with an interests or hobbies and I have been doing that since I was a child example : I love butterflys which you can tell by my username lol but I mean I litrally buy everything to do with them and my rooms covered in them I guess this could be seen as normal too but I have always been like this.
I also hate loud noises/ sounds and have meltdowns alot when things become to much for me to handle I was also diagnosed with ADD when I was nine.
I am just looking to gather info and possibly get a diagnoses that may or may not explain why I behave the way I do. Am in the process of getting my doctor to send me to the right professionals.
Anyways just wanted to say hi

Welcome to WP neighbor
Look around and gather some information. Might even find some information to help you deal with the problems you have.
I assume by your comments about making a diagnosis that you would make your own diagnosis based on the information you gathered. But if I'm wrong then Aspie_SE10 is right, do not expect people here to make a diagnosis for you or ask them to do it. The one unwritten rule here on WP, otherwise chaos would rule if we started diagnosing each other. 
Anyway regardless if you get a professional or self diagnosis yourself, your welcome here
