Testing

3 Replies

So on Friday my counselor had told me that I display autistic tendencies and she was shocked that I was never tested for autism when I was younger; and she had also asked me if how I felt about the sounds of vacuums since I hate noise. And I told her I hated them since they’re so loud. Anyway, I’m hoping then I on my next appointment on Friday we can talk about it more in depth and I can get tested soon. Since last week we talked mainly about my ocd.

Thanks I just don't know if she can do it or not or if I need to go somewhere specific for it. But if she says I display autistic tendencies than there must be something going on I guess

But, I don't know if I should tell my parents until I get tested or not.

I would just hate to tell them if I don’t. And I’m out of college so I haven’t taken exams in a long time. But it could explain why I have a hard time driving and can’t pick up a penny or a gift card off a store floor; as well as walking in the grocery store parking lot today and tripping over myself and almost falling.
