Does this sound like autistic behavior?

ive always felt that the way my brain works isnt quite right, and ive recently learned about something called the autistic spectrum. the symptoms listed in it reminded me of my own. these are: i have a hard time making eye contact with anyone, even close friends, i dont really talk ever unless spoken to, cant be around alot of people or i get overwhelmed, and my brain likes to put all of its efforts into useless things, like i will be trying to think of or remember something and my brain will think of an infinite amount of things that arent even important or related. my brain also seems to think too hard at all times, like theres always so much chaos going on in my head that i will be completely distracted from the world around me and i cant really help it. those are a few of my symptoms does this sound like something i can get rid of or is it something that everyone has do deal with?

    its hard to tell by what you've said because many people feel those symptoms and are not autistic, but that's not to say you couldn't be... it's just hard to tell without actually knowing u... so if you're worried about it you'd best ask a doctor or tell your parents

    It might just mean you are reserved and very intelligent.

    Au57in: thank God for a brave woman like you! We need more social workers. You can think of the fat people, autistic, the crazy people, old people, Christians, religious people etc all making their voices heard. "The Simpsons" has a message, the people different from you are just as responsible and hard-working as you and they will make their voices heard. As the researcher of politics, I'm giving social workers a voice for the people.

    I didn't know! OK! Your problem sounds autistic to me, but though I'm autistic I don't have any of those problems. Heck, you try to be normal. In my future taking over the world, I will further research into saving the lives of any person: save the autistic, save the handicapped, the sick, the old, the victims of fires, etc, we (the whole world) live in peril, we need justice, freedom, and listen to the people!

    I work with Autistic kid's, some of the "symptom's" you quoted are that of an Autistic mind, yes. But then i would say self-diagnosing from a website is not the best way to go about it. See a specialist, their advice will be much better than a website's.
    In my honest opinion, i think EVERYBODY is on the Autistic Spectrum, some alot 'further along it' than other's :)
    Everbody at some point show's Autistic Tendencies.
    Thing's like "temporary OCD" (where people claim to have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder just because they like a line to be straight)
    fall under this sort of thing.
    Self-diagnosing won't do much other than make you panic/frighten yourself.
    Go see a specialist, they don't bite :)

    There is a test you can google which will give you your autism spectrum quotient. It is used as a self-test to see if you should check with the doctor. Normal for males is 15 to 17. Normal for females is 13 to 15. I scored a 29 but I don't really struggle with too many if the symptoms. So take the test and determine if you should seek medical counseling after that.
