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.

  • Oh okay. Thank you both of you.

    I am also terrible at Maths but once got 100% in a Cambridge university english test. But i actually don't enjoy english as much as maths.

    I have to have routine also. I have to get out the house within the first hour or so of getting up and if i don't then i am sometimes quite unwell. My sister being here from Australia has disrupted my routine and confused me somewhat.

    Talking of confusion i wrote a while ago about dissociative behaviour. However today i had something totally different. I was at my support group and i got really confused. I couldn't figure out where i was or how to get anywhere and just sat there very frightened. What's that all about?
