Hello! Im a 17 F and i want to share my experience with this i may say realisation bc i have a hard and important school year and i cant let this idea takes over my brain and provide me from focusing:

So i was thinking about autism soo much and the possibility of being in the spectrum since i knew talking at 3 yo is a possible trait (i was comunicating with mouvement until i became almos 3yo, but my mom explain it with the fact that i was the only child and i start talking bc i stayed with grandma) i did some researchers and i was like "i cant be autistic i dont have sensory issues" but i remembered i hate how the peach skin feels in my tongue or how my head hurts whene i smeel that spesific food rich with spice or how uncomfortable nail grinding is or how i feel sick and almos wanting to thr.ow up whene hearing high mudic from a microphone (i still love it from my phone but microphones makes me sick) and i feel tired whene my hair is close to my face or whene its volumed, but it feels like a lot of NT folks feels the same.

I also used to say "hello!: 3" to everyone in the street ( i mean EVERY ONE) and acted like a princess (i have a familly photo where i was posing like theme, and it feels real back thene) i had been puting myself in a story and act upon it, like eachtime i come back from granda to home i act like a character in a game that had just been complited thene i go to the miror and imagine being an avatar and the player is editing me(as a child, ofc i dont do that now) or imagine fics and they are always the same (now i still imagine stuffs while walking in cicles but my mom always complane about it, like i shouldnt keep walking in her kitchen, i do make senarios of my stories or fic for my fav shows and repeat lines or reimagine an event that i loved at the time, sometimes its outloud and sometimes its internal) i watch vedios of different topics, eachtime i get obsessed with something untill i found something eles to love, i stare a t someones eyes constetly and dont move theme on, and sometimes i dont, i just feel like i should look at a specific spot and find in uncomfortable to look away, i once cried as a 12yo bc i got the idea of making my story a film (like its not real and theya re just acting, but im not dramatic like that anymore) and in this year i was trying to stick in a program but couldnt follow it, i got distracted easly and i forget stuffs like drinking qather or what to say and i once got a gift from a friend (a dora eraser) at the age of 6,i didnt understand, i thought i stolen it and i thrown it from the window (sorry enverenment).

But it all feels like its not enough, like i got convaince that it worth seeking a doctor but thene i watch someones video and be like "i dont suffer that much" the fact that i just recalled these infos whene i thought of this possibility make it feels like i wasnt strugling before...

Im not here to seek a diagnose of cours! I just shared tit so now i can think of more inportant things, if u want to share ur experience feel free to write as much as u want, oh and btw sorry i talked o lot.
