Autism assessment

Your mum probably thought you were just a normal child, because she saw you everyday, and you were always the same to her. Do you understand what I mean? ASD isn’t easy to spot, especially to someone who had never heard of Autism, or realised what it can look like in different people. I mean, god, I didn’t realise I was autistic until I was 46 lol.
I spent nearly 6 years fighting for my daughter to get diagnosed and I still didn’t realise  

When I asked my mum if she noticed anything different about me, she said she didn’t. When I went for my diagnosis, she wrote some things down about me as a child. She didn’t think they were Autistic traits, as she was like that herself as a child. She said I was quiet, I didn’t speak much, I was serious, I was clever, big vocabulary, shy, artistic, excellent memory, ordered, few friends, played alone etc. None of that stood out to her, but why would it when she was the same, and it was back in the early 70’s? 
Of course, through my daughters diagnosis, and mine, my mum now realises she is also autistic and it’s been very eye opening for her, and she is learning about herself for the better.

That’s a great way of putting it and also some puts some perspective on my part trying to understand. Thanks for taking the time to post.

I get my outcome tomorrow so we will see then.
