dandean1989 Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Hi there, i'm a 22 year old male from plymouth uk and i'm having my psychiatric assessment on the 16th july and hoping to find out whats wrong with me! i have had problems socially all my life and have had more problems than most with dealing with relationships and turned to drinking heavily through my teens to cope and allow myself to talk to people easier as i'm not great at talking and the stress of holding an ordinary conversation sober was too much at the time. i just thought i was odd and anti-social and that might well be the case but after talking to my partner and bringing up the subject with my parents, my mother in fact had discussed with friends how she thought i might be autistic or something and agreed i should get assessed so i'm hoping that i can find some comfort in getting a diagnosis or if not i need to work on my people skills big time!
