For those on the spectrum, how did you get a diagnosis? I think there is something drastically wrong with me because I can’t maintain friendships, so don’t have many friends, never had a girlfriend (although this is probably because I’m too ugly) and most importantly am not the most likable person out there (again might be my looks). When I think about it even my parents aren’t exactly liked by other family members and I now feel like all of us are on the spectrum. It’s taboo to even speak about being on the spectrum in my country so I don’t think my parents got themselves diagnosed. But this has slowly ruined my life and I’m sure there is something major that is off about me that’s ruining all my relationships and keeping me from even having one person like me back
Take the raads-r self diagnosis. Then if you feel it'll make a difference to your life to get an official diagnosis, find an adult autism provider. Also ASD or not, sounds like therapy might benefit you. No one is ugly. Love yourself man.
I’ve noticed people with autism will tell me so I have some baseline idea what to expect.

Autism spectrum
You want so bad to be autistic so you can justify your social failures. Don’t.
It may just be in your head. Read the book how you win friends and influence people. It might help
Get a diagnosis and get professional help to deal with it. There isn't a cure but you can significantly improve your life. Good luck.
If you haven't already, take a look at the dsm v5 diagnosis for autism. If it looks like it applies to you, ask your doctor for a psychiatric referral and get an assessment. I'm going through that process right now for ADHD.
Dsm v5 diagnosis for adhd is the way?
It's more like an initial check before you go and spend a psychiatrist's time on it.
