Which of your parents do you believe is/was/might be/could have been autistic?

I think probably my mother but with a lot of other stuff going on.

However, if so she was under sensitive to noise etc which, from my reading of this forum, is more unusual to 'over'sensitivities.

It could have been my father.

The jury is out (and always will be as they are both deceased).

How about you?

  • Neither. My mother was sensitive to noises and had allergies, but she always seemed to be adept enough socially as far as I can tell. My great nephew has been officially diagnosed though, but I've never met him.

    I wonder about both of mine, my Dad was a bit strange, but then so was his upbringing so it's hard to know how much was that and how much might have been ASC. I really do wonder about my Mum sometimes though, her brain seems to work more like mine than almost anyone elses and she's clumsy or dyspraxic and always has been, like me there's somethings that just don't make sense to her and no amount of explaination or showing her makes any difference.
