Autism in women
Are there any ladies here that would be willing to share how their autism affects them / what symptoms are you experiencing? I have never been diagnosed (never discussed this with my Dr) but I feel like I might be autistic.
I have been told that I can be very blunt and sometimes perceived as rude, but most of the time I don't feel that I am rude. I am also extremely shy and socially awkward, I have developed some coping mechanisms but I get quiet and withdrawn when I'm around people. If I am to have a conversation with someone, I will often replay in my head the way the conversation could go, and what would I say. I also don't get obvious sarcasm, especially when I meet new people.
Ps: I know I would need to get an assessment with my GP, and that autism can be exhibited in different ways. I guess I'm just looking for validation or suggestions on whether to see a doctor about this.
