Again, I don't think Jogi's looking for a diagnosis, he's looking to see if anyone can relate, and what they think.

Personally, a diagnosis is probably unnecessary, since I find it all too often to be fairly useless in the long run. Getting a label on how your brain works, or doesn't, may help with work or school related things, but in day to day life, all you need to know is how you work in and relate to the bigger picture. Personally, I don't think doctors are going to help; they rarely do, anyway.

Yeah, thanks, Orbyss.

I think the argument in this thread is a little pedantic. I get that there's no way to tell if someone is autistic over the internet, and that depression and anxiety do not necessarily mean autism. I think that's all that matters, here.

Orbyss is right that I was just looking for some personal accounts, maybe if anyone can relate to the feelings I described?
