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?

  • I strongly believe that it’s my mum, but I’m so similar to my dad characteristics wise I couldn’t be too sure. He’s the one that taught me to mask from a very young age, however I’ve come to realise that it’s something he might have learned too. I’m not sure. My mum believes I’m autistic but my dad does not. I don’t know what to think.
