Difference between those diagnosed early to those diagnosed later

TheCatWoman

According to research theres different genes involved in those diagnosed as young children to those diagnosed later in life and certainly those of us who were diagnosed as adults. The research states that theres no one cause of autism and that multiple genes are involved.

There's an article on it in todays Guardian newspaper.

  • I think there are differences based on how well you mask.

    The more outward expression there is the more likely it is to be picked up.

    The more internalised it is, together with strong observation, the better you hide. This makes it more like  psychological torture.

    Whether it is different genes, different gene expression, different home environment, I don't know.
