Help seeking diagnosis

Hi,

I think I have ASD and am currently on an NHS pathway for diagnosis.
To date, my AQ-10 and AQ-50 scores are very high (9/10 and 44/50 respectively).  My EQ / CBS score is 19.
I've had my older brother fill in the CAST questionnaire (as my parents are no longer able to) and this comes back with a score of 12.

Has anyone else had experience of current scores giving a high likelihood of ASD, but this not being seen as a child?

    Hi, it’s not uncommon, we learn to mask or camouflage as children plus we didn’t know anything about autism. Personally I knew I had to keep under the radar and blend in, it doesn’t mean I wasn’t on fire inside at the same time. I’m 55 and on the NHS waiting list at the moment.
