Hey everyone! I want to tell my teachers and friends and family that I think I’m autistic so they can help but I’m scared and I don’t know how. Any advice?
Thanks :)

I think the first step personally, talk to a trusted adult-whether that's a teacher, a counsellor, or a parent or someone- and come up with a list of reasons why you think you might have autism. This will help you convince them that this is not your imagination. Also look at some other things that match your symptoms (or ADHD, anxiety, etc) and have those as a back up for just a diving off place. Research some different ways you can get a diagnosis (psychiatrist, specialist, etc) near you. Then just ask whoever you want to talk to about it if they can set aside some time to discuss something important. Just come with research and facts is the best way in my experience. Hope this is helpful :)
