Hello, new here! I remember finding this website in middle school when I was Google searching social rules (eg what to do when walking down a long hallway and someone is on the other side). I go to a partial program for help with my mental health symptoms, mainly bipolar and social anxiety, but while at the hospital the doctor asked if it was ever brought up that I was autistic because of my rocking back and forth and bad eye contact.
At first I dismissed it as ludicrous, but upon further reading I came to identify with a lot of the symptoms. I am being screened in May, so I'm very anxious about it. But whether I am diagnosed or not I hope I can make friends here with you guys :and find a home here
