I haven't told my counselor due to the idea of him thinking I am a hypochondriac. But I suffer from all of the symptoms severely in my everyday life. I want to be sure that I have a reason to be worried so I am looking for some help/advice on here before I confront him. 1- I don't have any grasp on the rules of a conversation that aren't clearly stated to me. (Ex. I can't make eye contact or know when to start and stop speaking.) 2- I am very sensitive to sounds and touch (Ex. I can not stand anyone touching me at all or I have a meltdown. Also loud noises like the vacuum, garage door, etc. cause me to have an anxiety attack and cover my ears until the sound is gone.) 3- I excel in one or two specific subject (psychology and science). 4- changes in routine causes anxiety attacks and meltdowns (Ex. I must wear only jeans and a specified set of tshirt sorry a will have a complete meltdown. I have to have washed all of my dishes by myself, if someone else does I won't eat off of it at all.) there are more examples but these are the main symptoms I suffer from. I'm not looking for a diagnosis but I would appreciate any feedback or opinions on my issues. Thank you.
