Hello, I've had the feeling for a while that I'm very different in certain situations or react differently than people my age, and that I also perceive things differently, such as other people's behavior. And I was wondering if there's a way to test whether this is autism or something else entirely? Would I just need to see a psychologist, or is there a proper test for it? I was curious. Thanks.

Loading...Hey, I wonder if PTSD can also lead to suicide due to these traumatic thoughts. If so, why? So how can it be that trauma can lead to suicide? LG
I've noticed quite often that there are people who think like that. I mean, I know and can sense who is weaker than me, and I'd say every asshole and idiot can sense it. You can just feel it. You don't have to talk to them to find out. You can tell just by looking…

They occur, for example, during meals or other occasions. My psychologist mentioned a so-called "anxiety cycle." The problem is, I have a police internship in a week (which I don't want…
I'm referring to confrontation exercises that subsequently reduced anxiety. Feel free to also report on exercises that made it worse.
Hello, what is this test for autism? I worked in a kitchen, and it was very loud there. My first week of internship was quite stressful, especially because of all the noise. But please give me some advice on what exactly happens during an autism test? Best wishes, Diana, pleasant afternoon.
How do you manipulate people without them noticing?
the psychologist makes a special test for it with you
you can also do online tests to get such a basic feeling for where you stand. So this does not replace a real diagnosis, where long talks with you are conducted, etc.
But can give you a rough overview
Such tests are complicated because autism can have many different forms and these can easily be confused with other disturbances.
That’s why you shouldn’t turn to some psychotherapists, but to a psychiatrist with appropriate expertise or an autism competence center. If one cannot carry out a diagnosis in such a consultancy, they have addresses of professionals who can do this.

There are autism centers, but they’re booked out for years.
Psychologists carry out these tests. Tests on the Internet are neither meaningful nor serious.
