Do I have Autism?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm trying to find out if I have it or not. A lot of people tell me that I look funny and have an awkward walk, like there's something wrong with me. I've already known this for a while now and it's hard to correct. I have trouble with facial expressions and hand gestures that are used in communication. You know how people move their hands and arms when they're talking to someone. here's one example http://www.lourdes.com/gscontent/images/up_2130.jpg I have trouble with just about everything people take for granted such as sitting in a chair or doing everyday activities. I just don't know how exactly it should be done normally. I also have severe anxiety because people are always judging me and staring at me. I have actually heard people talking about me and had others laugh right in my face because I looked different from everybody else. My intelligence is slightly below average. In school my main problem was math. The only thing I'm really good at is computers. I also have trouble making eye contact. When I'm talking to someone or them to me I might just look down at the floor. So, what do you guys think? Do I have it?

Get an appointment with a psychologist who has experience with autism, and ask his/her professional opinion of whether you are autistic.

Not any psychologist, must be one that specifically has experience with autism or preferably specializes in it.
