I know everyone makes fun of r9k users for being autistic, however I think I may actually have Aspergers and ADHD. Is there any way to actually know without going to the doctors, because even though I live in the UK and the doctors are free, if I end up not being either it would be a waste of time and would be humiliating.
You probably would have been diagnosed as a kid if you actually had autism. You're just a faggot

Never talked to parents, stayed in my room all day and only came down for food.

aside from legit doctors you can do a therapist who will most likely give a much better diagnosis than a doctor could, and of course just webmding that shit never hurt. I went to a doctor 2 years back and he gave me a quick and dirty mental evaluation since I never had one and said I had depression and general anxiety but didnt want to give anything for it due to him getting in trouble for perscribing it ou so easily in the past, so he showed to a therapist and gave me a good word so I got in faster than most people would and after two sessions she diagnosed bipolar instead of depression and adhd with purely social anxiety. Long text for me basically saying therapists are the best diagnosers of mental illness but have a story I guess
>doctors are free
>waste of time
>goes on 4chan for answers

Never considered myself sad. Just preferred to be alone. I disliked other people because things they did made me really annoyed.
>if I end up not being either it would be a waste of time
This reasoning makes no sense. If you'd go and find out you didn't have Aspberger's or ADHD, you woud literally know. How would that be a waste of time?
Literally no one is qualified to tell you if you have ADHD or Aspberger's other than the people who've had the proper schooling. Go to the doctor's.

get the fuck out
modern society has a tendency to diagnose natural problems and issues as illnesses. doctors can't differentiate catalyst from causes, and most mental illnesses are nonlinear in their consequences. so if you go to a doctor, you probably WILL get diagnosed with depression or anxiety or whatever you play up. if you go to another doctor and tell him you still feel those things, he will give you more pills. there is no objective standard for mental illness, there's a reason why its definitions are so fuzzy
I honestly can't stress enough how important it is to never take the pills. they will only smooth out things, they won't make it better. only you can actually improve your life

I am kinda scared of talking to doctors. I always feel like all of a sudden they are gonna start shouting at me for wasting their time.

now that place is real autism.

Their job is to talk to people who don't feel well. They know what they went to school for.

Good job you took an elementary red pill now kys

Well I don't feel unwell, I feel as if their is something wrong with me neurologically. I feel like to them it isn't too important. You don't get any medicine for autism, so what is the point in knowing if you are autistic or not. Is it worth going for piece of mind, or is their some other reason to know?
>>36066984
the only benefit to it could be to give yourself an excuse for being bad at life. if you want to do anything important with your life, it doesn't matter what specifically you overcome

What about a situation where at work you do something autistic and you have an excuse for doing it.

>I feel as if their is something wrong with me neurologically. I feel like to them it isn't too important.
This is literally what health care is for. You go and see them because you suspect something is wrong and they give you an answer of what's wrong with you.
> Is it worth going for piece of mind, or is their some other reason to know?
You're literally asking "should i go through life wondering over something I can easily get the answer for or just actually get the answer and be done with it."
