// this is more for personal use but basically a list of reasons I think I might have autism or adhd
1. This is the biggest warning sign for autism that I can think of that I see in myself, but throughout literally /all of elementary school/ I would throw tantrums in class on a daily basis. If I didn’t get my way, I would scream and cry and roll around on the floor. And I mean a /daily basis/. At first in 1st and 2nd grade it was just me being a toddler, but then I went to 3rd grade and didn’t stop.. then 4th grade.. then in 5th grade I got slightly better, but I would still throw a tantrum once a week. Once I got to middle school I stopped, but it took (and sometimes still takes) a lot of energy to not scream over every issue
2. I have motivation to do things, I just can’t bring myself to physically do them
3. I can not be still for more than one second, I always need to be doing something with my hands or legs or something
4. Sometimes when I hear my parents voices I get mad. Not because of anything they’re saying but I just want to punch them because their voice angers me
5. When I do schoolwork deadlines don’t feel real
6. I stim frequently
7. When it’s quiet, I physically struggle to not fill the silence with some kind of noise
8. When I was little I would scream loudly when my mom turned up the music in the car
9. I hyperfixate on things super often
10. When I’m in school I only do well in 2 or so subjects, which I excel in, and I’m terrible at everything else
// these are only some of them, but I think these are the main serious concerns I have. Would this be enough reason to get myself screened?
