I was diagnosed with ASD when I was like 2 or 3 or 4 or something. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 5, because I remember being in 0th grade when starting on Ritalin. Maybe even during my last time in kindergarten.

Throughout my childhood, I was more aware of my ADHD than I was of my autism, because of the pills. I'm not sure when I really "learned" or got it into my mind that I also had autism, maybe when I was like 8 or 10 or something, I dunno. Or maybe when I was 7 and had left my class in the library to go back to school on my own a mile away in busy traffic, I dunno.

My big brother has ADHD and autism as well, my other big brother might have ADHD but hasn't been diagnosed, while my one big sister has ADHD but not autism, and I think my other big sister doesn't have anything, though I'm not sure. My mom has ADHD but not autism, though her father had autism. My dad... doesn't have anything, as far as I know. Other than being red/green colorblind.

So... ADHD is genetic in my family, my niece possibly has it as well, though as far as I know we don't know anything yet. The autism is just in me and my youngest big brother, and we both have ADHD and both take Ritalin.

I believe I also have anxiety, because whenever I'm reading homework at home and am alone or when I go out in public alone, I'm often afraid someone will jump out and try to kill me, even though it's a peaceful country and a peaceful town I live in. Maybe it's just all the American TV I've been watching, but I think I have anxiety. Of some kind.

I want to get tested for it, but not sure how to get it or when to. And given the coronavirus these days, getting an appointment would probably be pretty hard.

Well, not like I really need a test for anxiety though. Whether I have it for sure or not doesn't matter. I know I'm anxious but it just means I really wanna live, in my case, so I'm not worried. Well, generally speaking.

I have no problem speaking about my issues, I actually like talking about them and admitting that I'm not "normal". :)
