I am currently self suspecting, in the process of researching, and MY GOD, the tests online are SO PAINFUL.

I hate the lack of clarity and the incredible vagueness of so many of the questions that I just cannot answer with the five options provided that range from "heavily agree" to "heavily disagree".

One question has been bothering me for literal weeks. It's the "Do you often notice small details that other people don't? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I've been stuck on this one stupid question for nearly a month and at this point I'm genuinely distressed.

Details as in details in a school project? A corporate work setting, and if so, as part of the marketing division or the team that comes up with a product? Does it mean details as in, would I make a good detective? Or is it the details in regards to social interactions and micro-expressions? Does noticing the brightest light on the dentist's room while nobody else seems to be bothered by it count as a detail?

I could go on and on and on but I'm honestly too tired to. And of course it's not just this question, there are many more. I finish taking such tests 15 to 30 minutes later than I'm supposed to because I get stuck on these stupid ass questions. I waste so much time panicking because I can't understand and I feel like I'm supposed to find this easy, but it's not, it's grueling and confusing and not clear enough.

Also before anyone says I should just go to an actual psychiatrist instead of doing this shit because it's so hard for me, I can't. I want to get officially tested but I do not have the funds for that. If I did, I would be in a psychiatrist's office by the end of the day. I will do so when I am able to but right now I can only self assess.

I have filled Jai Hind and Mithibai's form putting in my 10th migration certificate. A family friend said that 12th ka certificate will be given after many months so I should just use the 10th waala. Now my teacher has informed me otherwise. What do I do about Jai Hind and Mithibai????? Jai Hind is literally my top college

I'm 18 and currently looking to study BA Psychology. I'm very interested in neurodivergence as an autistic person myself. If I am to pursue a career where I can specialise in neurodivergence, is there a rough path blueprint?

I generally don't have a lot of rules regarding being touched or so, unless I'm in a bad mood, but my hair has always been a sensitive topic for me. I've always had relatively short hair. I don't know if it's the wavy/curly hair texture, or maybe it's for not reason at all, but I absolutely despise people touching my hair. I don't know why but I hate it. Some days I can tolerate it if I'm in a good mood but it's still unpleasant.

We have a guest at our house right now, a guy in his thirties, he's been staying with us for a few days. I absolutely love him and I really enjoy how we can playfully banter at times but he loves teasing me. He knows I don't like my hair being touched so he makes sure to touch it the most he can. It's not even just gentle stroking, he forms a claw with his hand and I can feel his fingertips on my scalp. It feels disgusting and repulsive.

I've told him to stop countless times, telling him I don't like it, and he always laughs and says, yes, he knows, and that's why he does it. I don't think he means any harm but that doesn't make it any better for me.

He did the exact same thing tonight without my permission multiple times. I was already so drained and he wouldn't stop no matter how much is beg him to. I got up and sat as far away from him as I could and just broke down crying.

I could tell he felt awkward and he asked two times if I really was crying, but soon left. I feel like wanting to pull my hair out of my scalp. He's not near me right now but it's like I can still feel his fingers in my hair. My mom came in briefly and said something that made me triggered (irrelevant but she asked me a question for the sixth time that I had already said no to).

I was already in a horrible mood and I was sobbing as I told her nobody listens to me when I say no once. She rolled her eyes and didn't bother checking in with what's wrong and that just made me feel even worse.

And now I'm stuck here crying hysterically in my bed because I feel like I've been violated in some manner, which is stupid, because it's just fucking hair. I know my mom's going to enter in the next 10 minutes, look at me still crying, and probably think about how I'm massively overreacting and feel exhausted by my bullshit.

I don't know what's wrong with me but I'm full on sobbing right now. I feel like nobody's willing to listen to what I want and then everybody gets mad at me for reacting negatively. I feel like a pathetic loser. I just want someone to tell me I'm ok. I want my mom to calm me down soothe me but she's too fucking busy attending guests at our house. I feel worthless.

For context I am 18, self suspecting for autism and working towards getting resources for a diagnosis. I was looking around online yesterday when I came across RSD and my god it fits me like a puzzle piece.

The main reason I'm terrified for this to be true is because of a past friend of mine. She was neurodivergent as well, had Audhd/Cptsd (I never found out because I broke things off before her official diagnosis) but she would blame everything on her perceived adhd and autism. It really messed with my perception of being on the spectrum for a good while.

She also had RSD and it ruined so many interactions. She would ask me if I wanted to hang out. I would say no I have my finals in a week I need to focus. She would reply by asking if I hate her and want her to die because I'm being so mean and she's really hurt by me saying no.

I'd always be so horrified and immediately apologise, saying that it wasn't my intention and that she completely misunderstood. She would then say "you know I have RSD and depression, what you just said said made me have suicidal thoughts, so you can't really blame me for getting angry."

A few months later we had a huge fight where she threatened the life of me and my gf (we are both girls) and traumatized the both of us for years to come. The fight was started by her and she was massively overreacting to my gf wanting to go on a date with me without a third wheel (her). In the end my friend said that "come on guys you know I have RSD, you know how I can get hahaha, it's not even that big of a deal."

We are no longer in contact with her. Now, I know I'm not her, I still have some of my sanity left in me, but knowing I might share RSD with her is a really distressing thought for me. She used RSD as an excuse after saying the most vile things, such as claiming I want her to die a brutal death just because I said I can't hang out on Saturday because I'm going to the hospital.

I'm scared that in time I'll start acting like her. Guaranteed, I know she had mental health problems other than RSD, but it doesn't really make me feel better. Acting like her is my absolute worst nightmare and just thinking about it is so unpleasant. I just needed a place to voice out my frustrations.

I'm a 12th pass with 94%, looking to study BA Psychology, and Jai Hind in Mumbai is one of my top choices right now. I know it's very well reputed and gets a lot of praise, but I'm a little concerned because it's psychology course is only 3 years long. I was under the impression that 4 years have become the norm and are better suited.

If I do get into Jai Hind, will I have to switch colleges for fourth year? I'm aware some people choose to not do fourth year and some places it is optional but I don't feel that way.

Xavier's and Sophia's are my other top preferences. I assume this wouldn't be a problem in Xavier's and I'd have to just keep my studies up, but honestly I prefer Jai Hind over it for personal reasons. I'm not very knowledgeable about Sophia's for this matter, so if anyone has info regarding its fourth year then plz let me know 🙏🏼

I'm scared I messed up big time. I'm looking to study BA psychology and my top two picks were Xavier's and Jai Hind. After a lot of consideration I put Xavier's as first preference and Jai Hind as second (in my application). I submitted the form because I was confident at the time but now I realise I'd much rather attend Jai Hind than Xavier's.

I'm worried that Jai Hind can see I put them as second preference and maybe decide to not choose me. That is my absolute nightmare. I got 94% and the lady at the reception there said I'm likely to be able to get into Jai Hind, but I have no idea if my situation changes if I change preference.

Also it's unlikely that I'm going to get into Xavier's. I wa about to place Xavier's further down in preference because I thought there's no way I'll get in anyway, but a few people told me I have a chance as long as I put it in first preference. I am non Christian in general category and also not inhouse so very low chance.

I'm in the last part of filling out my application, it is asking 10th and 12th marksheet plus certificate. My friends say that I can access my 12th certificate through Digilocker, but I'm totally lost and crashing out. Also my marksheets and certificate of passing is different, but in the application, it says to provide both of them within one document. Please give advice, I'm desperate.

I'm a 12th pass, got 94% and looking to get into BA Psychology. Both of the above are my top options but unsure which is better.

I got 94 percent, best 4 out of 5, but I heard that cutoff is 95%. I want to confirm the percentage, please reply asap

I am self suspecting, 18, and working towards getting enough money to get officially tested. I do not have a psychiatrist to talk to at the moment and there is no adult in my life who can give me advice regarding this.

I am aware sometimes psychiatrists ask for video proof of a time period (I forgot which age group) during childhood where they can see stims being exhibited, but that's as far as I know.

I have access to videos from my childhood but I'm not sure what to look out for. I was hoping I'd be able to gather a few videos ahead of time so I can have them ready if I'm asked for them.

I'm also not sure if I will 100% be asked for videos, I have no knowledge of how an official autism assessment works. But I have heard other people mention it so I want to be prepared.

I've heard a lot of people talk negatively about people with autism saying things like "they're so incapable of caring for themselves, they usually smell and can't even brush their teeth, etc. etc."

Obviously these are incredibly discriminatory and biased remarks, but sadly I don't have a lot of people in my life who are knowledgeable about autism. Even online, I see talk of how autistic people struggle with hygiene, albeit in a more accepting way. However that is the extent of my knowledge.

For context I am 18 and began self-suspecting a few months ago. I've had problems with hygiene growing up in regards to taking a bath, and sometimes even brushing my teeth. I used to absolutely hate bathing and many years ago would go as far as three months without a full, proper bath. I didn't sweat or smell a lot, so my parents had no way of knowing, and I fooled those around me.

I take better care of myself now because I've learnt the importance of taking care of your body, and mentally I am in a better place too. These days I can force myself to bathe at least once per day as long as I make enough preparations for it.

I am still in the process of learning about autism and working towards a better self assessment. I was curious as to if the struggles I faced regarding hygiene could be attributed to autism.

I've heard that Honours is far more renowned but every single top college in Mumbai only gives BA and not Honors, such as Jai Hind, Xavier's, K.C., Mithibai, etc.

12th grade pass, going for BA psychology ug. I can't find the merit list online anywhere. I keep getting vague confirmations of the range 85-96% but nothing definite. I tried looking on their site but there it only showed 'inhouse merit list cutoff'?

I did not study in Mithibai before this so I'm not counted as inhouse, right?
