Who here is autistic , be honest

[Unbothered]

I went to 3 different therapists, they said I have avoidant personality. But I would do a proper autism screening test.

You are just extremely shy person , probably have social anxiety, not autism. Autistic people have behavioral issues, lack self awareness, and have tendency to be obsessed with one subject. They also can’t read social cues.

I don’t have any friends despite I am social with my immediate family. I act like a robot around people and my senses are heightened, so I avoid meeting people at all costs. I am normal in classes I ask, answer and everything. But if someone approaches me I do that quick small talk, and shut down anything that could lead to long talks and excuse myself from the situation. Idk if that counts as autism. I asked my family if they think I have autism due to my underdeveloped social skills. They completely denied it, even my therapist. But I really doubt that.

There is difference between Autism and Social anxiety, poor social skills doesnt equate to Autism

I'd say speak to psychologist or a psychiatrist not a therapist , therapist aren't qualified to make diagnosis , also autism comes in different forms , I never in a million years thought had it. I had friends, read very young and did decently in school. I was doing something called 'masking' in which I was attempting to be normal.

However when I grew older socially speaking I felt like an outcast , I don't want to get into it , but deffo go check it out and rid your mind of the possibility.

A new study found that autism maybe linked with the gut biome so I've been obsessed with healing and nutation this passed year. Hopefully I can cure myself someday.

Sound like general anxiety and poor social skill but I am random person on the Internet so you're
better of seeking a professional

How old is your sister? The signs appear early on and it’s usually different for boys and girls. It’s often harder to spot in girls because they tend to cope better in social settings. I’m not surprised about your mothers reluctance because parents find it difficult to accept or acknowledge that their child is on the spectrum but screening her would benefit your sister in the long term.

Autistic children are no different than other children - it’s just that things that come naturally to others they have to work at 10x harder and I think that makes them amazing.

She's 14 now, but she has shown these signs since we were younger. We just didn't know what it was, which made it harder for the rest of the family to understand her. Now that we are a little older, we've come to a conclusion that it must be autism. I don't want to tell her this because she will most likely react badly.

Everybody is autustic or anxiety ridden these days. I've seen really autistic kids. They don't function normally in society. Most can't speak.

Being a little weird or not having social skills is not autism.

People understimate how much social skills and being comfortable around other people can atrophy with these unnatural, previously impossible, modern lifestyles we've created. Historically, especially in our paleolithic setting, you'd be outside and around people like your HG band 24/7 and become acclimated to and, frankly, thrive in that alongside consuming more nutrient dense, less toxic foods that could properly fuel your mental and hormonal vigor.

Nowadays we have created far too many draining and inferior alternatives to this. Don't go out and talk to people. Just sit in your room and chat with people thousands of kilometers away via scribbles on the internet rather than face to face conversations that hone your ability to pick up on and use social cues to your advantage. Don't get a partner. Just drain all your vigor and horniness on p0rn. All while eating nutrient deficient kibble diets. The mind becomes comfortable in this state and going out socializing, building real bonds, having real ambition and challenging yourself becomes too daunting and people convince themselves they're "introverts" and can even develop all sorts of degenerate misanthropic views. It's a shitshow and not autism.

Legitimate autism is becoming more common, though. Seems to be in part due to compromised gut micorbiomes.

ive seen some people recently walking with hunched backs and if you were to have a conversation with them they looked crazy. i dont think thats a lack of social skills. (probably just Anxiety or Depression) either way, ive got no saying in that department since my social skills arent even good

There are people who go to schools, and still suffer socially? Especially if someone grew up in a country who doesn’t care about the social well being of the student. Don’t blame modern lifestyle, many of us still need to interact everyday whether it’s for work or school.

Don't be obtuse. You know full well there are people who just go through the motions at school or work. Choosing to stay in their comfort zone, not talking to anyone, just going home straight after a Uni class, being a shut-in... I used to do that for some periods and I most definitely noticed having social anxiety and atrophied social skills that eventually bounced back when I forced myself to interact with people and go out more. Loads of people report the same or worse and there are loads of ways modern lifestyles often facilitate and prime for this I'm sure you can think up in a few seconds. Again, don't be obtuse.

It may be worth looking into serotonin antagonists, hyperserotonemia is a possible cause of autism.

I have Asperger's. One thing I really hate it I take things very literally always. Anyone else suffering from high functioning autism and how do you deal with it?
