Do you have autism?

[Danish_Retard]

Spoiler: Signs of autism

Social communication behaviors​

• You have trouble reading social cues.
• Participating in conversation is difficult.
• You have trouble relating to others’ thoughts or feelings.
• You’re unable to read body language and facial expressions well. (You might not be able to tell whether someone is pleased or unhappy with you.)
• You use flat, monotone, or robotic speaking patterns that don’t communicate what you’re feeling.
• You invent your own descriptive words and phrases.
• Understanding figures of speech and turns of phrase (like “The early bird catches the worm” or “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”) is difficult.
• You don’t like to look at someone’s eyes when talking to them.
• You talk in the same patterns and tone whether you’re at home, with friends, or at work.
• You talk a lot about one or two favorite topics.
• You make noises in places where quiet is expected.
• Building and maintaining close friendships is difficult.

Restrictive and repetitive behaviors​

• You have trouble regulating your emotions and your responses to them.
• Changes in routines and expectations cause strong feelings that may include outbursts or meltdowns.
• When something unexpected happens, you respond with an emotional meltdown.
• You get upset when your things are moved or rearranged.
• You have rigid routines, schedules, and daily patterns that must be maintained no matter what.
• You have repetitive behaviors and rituals.

Other signs​

• You care deeply and are knowledgeable about a few specific areas of interest (like a historical period, book series, film, industry, hobby, or field of study).
• You are very successful in one or two challenging academic subject areas. Some autistic people may do very well in some areas while also having great difficulty doing well in others.
• You are very sensitive to sensory input (like pain, sound, touch, or smell), or you are much less sensitive to these things than other people.
• You feel like you’re clumsy or have difficulty with coordination.
• You prefer to work and play by yourself, rather than with others.
• Others perceive you as eccentric or an academic.
• You are able to learn complex details and remember them for long periods of time.
• You learn well visually or by listening.

If you just for a single post would use more than 3 brain cells simultteneasuly you'd figure out you need more than single symptom

If you are undiagnosed how can you be sure?

You can't really, if you identify with a lot of the "symptoms" try and look more into it and see if you can recoqnise yourself in it.

The first time after getting diagnosed that I accepted the validity of the diagnosis was when I spent ~4 hours scrolling r/aspergers top of all time and there was only like ~5% of posts I didn't relate to.

How the fuck do you actually get diagnosed like who do you talk to, who do I call?

My dx:
-Autism
-ADHD
-OCD
-Anxiety
-Schizophreniform Disorder (2013) --> "Schizo Affective Schizophrenia" (2015) --> "Schizophrenia" (2015) --> Schizoaffective Disorder (depressive type) (2022)
-Unspecified Personality Disorder

Seriously though, I don't.

You talk to a general practioner and they give you a refferral to a psychiatrist who'll talk with you and give you a refferal to a psychologist who will determine if you have it or not.

For me I in the hospital psychiatry because of depression and anxiety so I got a diagnosis through there. ~40% of adult autists get a diagnosis because something comorbid brought it to atttention

How do you tell the difference between having these behaviors induced by a traumatic event / bad conditioning as opposed to actually being autistic? A lot of these behaviors don't necessarily have to be induced by autism, although that does provide an explanation for having them all at once.

They've manifested since childhood.

If you've had a traumatic event during early childhood that will be able to give you autism, one does not necessarily exclude the other.

If you show signs all at once I'd look into it closer.

 

[bishōnenmaxxer]

Curious about if autism is really only prevalent in the West.

@mike oxlong Autism in Israel?
@TRUE_CEL Autism in the Nederlands?
@pneumocystosis Autism in Germany? (You are German, right?)

No I'm just dumb and non NT

I don't know many autistic people here - maybe one or two from the top off my head, most of my real life friends and acquittance are normal.

 

[Deleted member 28896]

Idk, I'm able to read social cues without fail, I just cannot be asked to act accordingly.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40489-016-0085-x You cant because there is no "actual autism" that induces anything, Autsim Spectrum Disorder isnt a valid construct. This isnt to say autism cant be diagnosed and treated, just that the symptoms are the disorder

But ASD research has not provided a diagnosis-specific medical treatment, or a consistent early predictor, or a unified life course. If the ASD diagnosis also lacks biological and construct validity, a shift away from studying ASD-defined samples would be warranted. Consequently, this paper reviews recent findings for the neurobiological validity of ASD, the construct validity of ASD diagnostic criteria, and the construct validity of ASD spectrum features. The findings reviewed indicate that the ASD diagnosis lacks biological and construct validity.

*not "treated", managed/helped. There is nothing to cure, the problem is how people poorlyt treat neurodivergents (ableism).

Actually there is kind of a link between athletics and autism - not in a sense that athletes are autistic themselves but their training repeating the same movement patterns all the time.

I’ve read about this topic in the past, olympic winners describe the preparation phase for their competitions as the most dull and specifically repetitive thing imaginable

No.

 

[Deprived]

i'm a failed normie i think. i was ugly as a teenager and therefore never devloped properly socially. when i graduated i never had a job, or a large friend group, and i was still a virgin. i'm turning 20 soon and i fixed all of these things but it still feels brutal to be left behind.

i had a lot of the signs of autism when i was younger but since i go out more now they've mostly dissapeared from increased social activity

these subreddits are really dumb. not going into validity of your claims about yourself, but the average super-popular post on r/aspergers, r/adhd and similar subreddits is "holy shit, spent the last hour listening to one song on repeat, WHY IS NO ONE TRYING TO SAVE ME?". of course these will have hundreds of replies of people "totally relating to it", it's because that stuff is fucking normal and very common.

besides, aspergers isn't even listed as a separate diagnosis in DSM anymore.

 

[bignosesmallchin]

No but sometimes I'm convinced I do. Neet lifestyle with no social interaction besides on an incel forum filled with actual autists will do that to you.

 

[Deleted member 29639]
