Yes it does seem we are very similar! I was in a psych ward in oxford for a month just before Christmas last year and they picked up upon my asd traits there and that started the whole assessment process off. Were you in a general hospital or a psych ward?
Sometimes I'm not aware I'm doing it, which is mostly when I'm anxious and trying to calm down, but when I feel 'not quite right' as I put it on the inside then I stim purposefully which seems to return me back to 'normal' for want of a better word

I've been here 2 years and not seen anyone in a situation so alike.
I'm not actually sure. I think I was in one for 8 hours. They were going to keep me in for a while because they thought I was suicidal. It was very scary.

I don't really understand what happened, I was just confused the whole time. They were asking me loads of questions and I just couldn't answer. Things like suicide action plans. But they picked up I wasn't just avoiding their questions.... I think? I'm not too sure. I needed 5 stitches on my arm which is why I was in there.
And yeah, I can understand that.
