for context,my parents were autists and raised me in isolation from others. ive never been able to connect to my parents emotionally,we didnt talk a lot. ive lived an lonely life with an very small unchanged friend group that i havent been able to open up to much. maybe im not an actual autist,maybe im just unsocialized and lack experience with people? how do you know what you are?

    You can take a self administered autism test like this one. I also recommend checking out the website hosting the test, it’s informative without overwhelming you

      I’ve always noticed something was different, kind of identified with HSP (highly sensitive) spectrum traits since I didn’t really know much of anything else. My parents don’t “believe in” neurodivergance, think it’s some “woke fad.” (Yeah, they’re really judgemental). Took the test just now. Scored 166… Ik a single test isn’t fully conclusive, but it makes sense considering I’ve always been the “different” one in my groups… Thanks for this resource.

        I hope you can find the right level of support you need - and if that ends up being no support I hope you can still find peace in learning more about yourself (signed, a 188 score)

      Please keep in mind that every autistic person has diffrent traits, and the abcd tests only give more or less “autistic points” according to the pre defined answer.
