Hello everyone!

Post Reply New Topic

Hi! My name is Lyla and I’m 20 years old. I was diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago, but I quickly started to suspect there was more to it then that. I have been seeing a counselor for about a month or two now, and she isn’t able to formally diagnose me as being on the spectrum, but she said it’s fairly safe to assume that I am. She suggested that I talk to other people with the experience so I figured I would give this forum a go! I am still learning a lot and I also am dealing with feeling like, what if I’m faking it, you know? But I hope to gain some more understanding and I guess just peace of mind knowing why I am the way that I am. Anyway, I look forward to meeting you!

Welcome to WP! A diagnosis is not required, but an honest interest is appropriate.

I'm unclear what your current mental state is right now. Maybe these would be of interest:
<=>- Autism-Spectrum Quotient Test
<=>- Aspie Quiz ^{Registering is optional!}

welcome! There is no better place to learn about autism than from folks who have lifetimes of experience. I got great help and insights and loads of good info and support here and in other autism forums for adults (not parents forums). Ask lost of questions and use the search feature to find more discussions on any topic. Glad you are with us.
