Thanks. Autism is the best fit I can find to date. I have not seen any doctor for approx. ten years. Last time I went to a doctor it was a psychiatrist that gave me an ADHD diagnosis, but I am not great at following up on things.
It was suggested to me a few years since then, also a few years ago (by a layperson) that I should look into Autism. I dismissed it at the time, because all I knew about autism was what I had found out through mass media which is nothing like what you find out through people's experiences, or books etc.
Long story short, the more I look into it the more it feels like the correct fit. But the more it feels like the correct fit, the more weight the expert opinion seems to have. And, an answer of "get out of here you lazy git" would be a bit crushing at this point, precisely because the symptoms seem to fit and explain my life so well.
I take what you are saying though about expert opinions sometimes being less than infallible.
I am going to the appointment tomorrow though, no matter what. Will report back!
Thanks again.
Well done!
