Sometimes i wonder if i am Autistic

AnneMargaret

Sometimes i read things on here about people's children (or themselves) not communicating till well into their childhood, and struggling academically. But i was the complete opposite. I said my first word at 6months old, walked at 11months, talked fluently before i was 2, could read and write at 3, tell the time and tie laces at 5. I had a reading age of 14years at the age of 9. Got 11 GCSE's. Passed over 30 dance and drama exams.

Please don't think i am showing off. That isn't the point. I just feel confused.

Anne.

  • Tony Attwood says "When you've met one person with an ASD... you've met one person with an ASD!" (though I think he borrowed the saying from someone else).

    The point being that there is no single description of what someone on the spectrum is or should be like.

    This is especially true when looking at higher-functioning autism and Asperger's.

    We are as varied, in all aspects of our selves, as any given group of people.
