I could do with all your opinions please - just been talking to my mother.... about my childhood ( I have been pumping her for info without telling her why).
She could remember the stim I have awlays done - rubbing material between my fingers. Apparantly I have done this since being very little - and I still do it. The things she talked about that relate to possible ASD are:
I liked things 'just so' 'right' and would get very upset when things went 'wrong'.'Change really threw you'. I was pedantic.
I didn't like the feel of sand.
I would go 'on and on' if I had something in my head.
I was 'intellegent' and 'hard work' always on the go phsyically and mentally
She really rmemebers I could not play on my own - I needed her to play.
I was a very early talker
Teachers said I 'had a block with maths'- from Reception. all through schooling
No fear would just jump off things - always climbing /jumping/running
I didn't like sport
Left a playgroup at 2 1/2 - just cried in corner. mum stopped me going and took me back at 3 - i was ok then
These are the bits that don't seem to fit though -
I was very popular. Everyone liked me.
Assertive and would talk to people. 'Cocky'
Performed in school assemblies from very early on - impersonating people off the TV (dionne Warwick, Kenny Evertt, Bobby Ball ) I was happy to perform
A bit thrown by the second bit. Was feeling pretty convicned I was heading to an ASD diagnosis. I still feel like I have always been performing - not being me.
Do you think the second info precludes me from a diagnosis?
