Question for adult autists

Zukic

(Sorry if there any mistakes,english isnt my native language)

I've been starting to suspect lately that I might have autism. I think about it already 3 days and i think i have few simptoms,but still I doubt.

So,I want to ask,how much time did it took to you to understand that you may have autism? What signs made you think about this? And did you had any simptoms in childhood?

  • Hi, welcome to the community. Yes, symptoms of autism begin since early childhood, they are a bit different than in adulthood. The need for routine, communication differences and sensory differences are always present but the intensity of their impact may vary from person to person and as we are aging. You can try tests like RAADS, AQ50, read mind in the eyes, aspie quiz and CATq for masking. They are available on few sites, for example embrace-autism.com. There are also books. If you suspect being autistic it’s good to do some research. It may be autism or some other condition, there are overlaps of symptoms.
