I am new to this site and, upon stumbling across this page, have decided to release a small portion of my confusion and frustrations.
The main point of my post is that I feel like I may have a form of autism, but also believe I could possibly just be seeking a label. (as told by my father "wanting something to be wrong with me")
but after all the research I put into trying to figure out for sure, somewhere along the line I became entirely certain, but also apprehensive because of my up-bringing and the feeling
of being wrong and seeming like a fool for believing myself. The primary reason behind this is my father. Anything I mention to have problems with (like social skills) is written off as
something "bad" about my behavior and that I am inherently wrong in our discussions either because I present an idea he dislikes or because he sees me as a parasite for the economy to endure,
which sounds harsh but actually seems to be the case to me. I almost feel better having said this alone, but I would appreciate any insights you (the community) have to offer. I apologize for the length of
this post, and I thank you for having read this.
