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?

Parents

  • Jury is out for me too - not sure if my "dad" was even my genetic parent, as my mother had continual affairs, and I don't think it's common for autistic people to repeatedly break their marriage vows?

    I think that maybe my mother's sister was on the spectrum. I stayed with her in the summer holidays a couple of times and looking back now at her behaviour I can see a lot of anxiety.
