ok: a) take a test for adult autism

b) talk to a psychiatrist / psychologist / therapist who has a background in working with autistic people

c) don't believe assessments of random people online.

for context, if it matters, I'm autistic. We're each a bundle of non-linear spectrum of characteristics, and autism has high comorbidity with ADHD. Happiness / depression is only related insofar as it's hard to be autistic in an allistic world and living a hard life can be depressing. Panic attacks have nothing to do with autism (unless as a side-effect of stress related from being autistic in an allistic world). Some of your things can be explained by autism, all of your things can be explained by other things.




a) b) c) yes

Well I guess I just need to wait the upcoming tests.

:)
