@Michelleb98 -You could be right, but it's difficult to know. I wondered if I too had a mild version of autism, as some symptoms are similar to dyslexia, dyspraxia and OCD. My advice is to speak to your GP, he/she could refer you to a specialist. Also check the following link: http://www.autism.org.uk/about/diagnosis/adults.aspx
or give them a call -
0808 800 4104
Monday-Thursday 10am - 4pm
Friday 9am - 3pm
Good luck! -
Thank you Abnoba
