When I was in the first grade I couldn't focus and had to repeat the grade.

I often was bored with school, not doing assignments, not turning in home work, not caring and this went on well into high school.

I had a few military test I failed because like school I couldn't focus on my studies.

I had no mood problems, no sleep problems, and no social problems.

about a march 2013 I got diagnosed bipolar from having euphoria, spending money, etc and severe depression( 2 year period).

school problems are likely unrelated?

School problems = maybe ADHD? I think that everything is related or connected in some way, in an either weird or sensible manner. I have found that some with Bipolar Disorder have bits and pieces of Autism, as I do. I wonder if it even matters.

Possibly unmedicated ADHD?

I'm fearing autism, I score high on a lot of those self test. Autism is just a diagnosis, there isn't exactly treat for it right?

No there is treatment for autism but not pill or cure. There is therapy that can help social communication issues.

Autism is a developmental disability, not a mental illness. There is no cure for autism atm, but there are several things that can help individuals to be more functional. Cbt helps a lot and as a child I had a speech language pathologist for speech therapy in school. Also, for those that have austic irritability risperdal can be prescribed. I take risperdal for my autism and for schizoaffective disorder; this med is a miracle for me.

There are psychiatric professionals and organizations that help those on the autism spectrum if you are diagnosed. Have you brought this subject up to a therapist before? Generally people on the spectrum are diagnosed at a young age.
