HELP my parents think I have autism?
I think it all started when I was younger. Ever since I was little everyone around me was so judgemental and I guess that made me shy and also I'm mostly shy around my parents probably because when I was younger they would always go like "why did you do this" or "dont say things like that" and I didn't want to make them anymore upset so I just became more shy around my parents. Like when I'm at school I'm not as shy maybe only a little but no I have friends in school and what I mean about being shy around my parents is that I feel awkward talking to other people in front of my parents. Not shy talking to them. So I guess my parents saw that and now they think I'm autistic because of that they won't accept my personality for who I was I may not be as outgoing as others but that doesn't mean I'm autistic! I know and met people who have autism. I am not like that at all. I don't bang my head around or things like that. Also, my parents have taken me for an autism test they said I didn't have it but my parents are still so convinced I'm autistic and keeps taking me for tests until one will say that I am. I know you guys may say things like, tell my parents what I just said above what happened when I was little but I already did and they don't think that's what's making me shy they think I am shy because they think I'm autistic. But no I know some other kids who are shy that are not autistic. I still care about people. I have feelings for people. I can communicate like everyone else. My parents just don't see that. I can't wait for the day to come that my parents will finally realize I'm not autistic and I may be a bit shy but that's just who I am.
