It was my birthday recently, so hip hip horray, but that's not why I'm writing this. So in the 4th grade I went to get tested for a lot of stuff. I ended up coming out with anxiety and ADD, which I guess has been changed to unattentive ADHD or something along those lines. After I got on the medication something still seemed to be missing. Like something started to shine through the clouds that had been temporarily removed with medication.

6th grade was when the idea that I might have Autism actually popped into my head. It started when I took a "Do I have Autism" quiz as a joke. I was really bored and was think that I wouldn't get a yes answer, but to my suprise I did. I still don't know why but I guess I needed to double check, so I went to a different, more profesional website and took the test. That test too told me that I am probably on the spectrum and that I should try to get tested.

I kinda just left it right there for a few months because honestly I didn't care too much about what some online tests had to say about me and my brain. After around 2-3 months I remembered it when I was doing a little bit of research on autism since I wanted to know some ways I could help him. As I was looking at stuff I realized that I related to a good amount of the stuff there, and hey I get that Autism and ADHD have a good amount in common but this was a lot of stuff. I started to wonder so much that I thought about it a LOT and I started researching for 30 minutes to two hours almost every single day. I found a lot that seemed to relate to me but also a lot that didn't so I kinda stepped back and also because I brought it up to my parents and they had gotten angry.

It wasn't until a few months ago that I really started thinking about it too because my therapist who worked with kids with Autism suggested to my parents that there is a good chance that I might have it. I also have been struggling more and more with people as I've gotten older. Jokes are a lot harder to recognise than I remember and people are constently getting annoyed with me because I'm too literal or because I constently disagree with them when I don't even meen to. I try to blend in with people but it's still never enough because there are always things that other people just seem to naturally pick up on when I don't.

I ended up switching therapists because her times were really bad and I would have had to miss two hours of school to see her, so I got a new one. This new one is really nice and I was talking to her about this and I described what I felt because I had told her I didn't know if this was just the ADHD. This therapist also thinks that I could have Autism and we have talked about maybe talking to my mom and setting me up for a test, so if I end up getting the test I'll tell you guys how it goes.
