Scored 151/240 in RAADS-R 27M should I take assessment?

I left home when I was 22 to work a tech job I was staying in PG while I was working, I was not in good terms with my family being raised by strict parents and always had problems with siblings I did abuse my new found freedom but I did enjoy it. When I turned 27 I realised how behind I was in the race despite having good package and decent savings in my bank, there's always a sense of insecurity, lack of intimacy and real connection in my life. I got drunk a lot for continuously 5 days after my birthday not in a typical party sense, mindlessly getting drunk alone by myself, I didn't invite anybody for no apparent reason I don't understand why I did it. One month ago lot of ground breaking were revealed to me it all did start with cannabis usage I smoked with some strangers (my friend's coworkers) and I became too self-aware and realised how childish I was acting before smoking, I was able to interpret what people were telling very easily (one girl was even suggesting she's open for potential relationship) I kept quite the whole time overwhelmed by all it, it made me question "If I didn't smoke I would've been speaking like an idiot". I smoked couple of times after that one time I started to talk in a childish like tone (I was in a good mood that day). It all made me question one thing only am I behaving like this all the time do I behave normal when I'm sober? well I didn't take any it seriously I thought it's the grass doing it's thing.

Past few day I found people around me were acting strange they were imitating me to a creepy extent, my family, friends and coworkers were aware of bits and pieces of information that I never shared with any of them or things I shared with one group but not with other groups, coworkers arguing among themselves for no apparent reason, my family is surprisingly chilled about my sister's divorce, I couldn't explain in details cause I myself not sure what's going on but I could conclude with one thing I was being monitored for a long time and I'm undergoing some kind of behaviour training through my friends and family.

I thought I'm going crazy I applied for sabbatical leave and came back home, I met a psychiatrist and explained him what was going on that people around me are acting weird/childish imitating me he suggested it could be cannabis induced psychosis (which is not the case for sure).

All this lead me to another possibility that I might be having some intellectual difference that nobody is telling and maybe that's why I was monitored and undergoing behaviour training in the first place so I took screening for autism it did flag I don't know what I should do next.

Need help with get Screened

So I finally convinced myself to see a psychiatrist to get screened today at a government hospital , and the psychiatrist dismissed most of my experiences as just "Anxiety" :(

From sensory stuff , to struggles i had to face growing up...I was ill prepared, really burnt out when I finally met the doc after waiting for three hours. So I wasn't able to tell the doc , the entire extent of my struggles...She (the doc) has said for a follow up for a more thorough check-up and told me to keep a journal to write everything that discomforted me. So I was wondering how to present my struggles better, and did she literally meant "everything" that discomforted me or just things that give me discomfort and not others?

And i should mention I'm a 19 years old trand gal.

The Effects of Autistic symptoms on work performance and work motivation on Autistic Adults

Hello everyone!

I am Saakshi, Psychology Master's Final Year student here to present my study on employed autistic individuals. Personally, as autistic woman myself who is also employed, struggled a lot this past year and at some aspects I am still struggling, which led me to be curious on how exactly autism affects work performance and work motivation. Autistic adults are least researched group in autistic research filed, especially the ones from Asia, Africa, Hispanic countries. I would whole heartly appreciate your participation in my study. Not only it would benefit me, but also benefit more Autistic Adult focused researches. Please click on the link below. Make sure to read everything!

If this post may feel like breaking the rules I will delete it!
