Hi, I'm new to this forum.

Hi, I first found out about the National Autistic Society after my son was diagnosed as on the autistic spectrum at the age of 5. He is now 13. Over the years it gradually began to dawn on me that I also had autistic traits, and recently did some online tests. The results suggest I might have Asperger's syndrome. (I just scored 39 on this website's AQ test.) I am wondering whether it is worth trying to get a diagnosis for myself, considering how hard it was for other family members to accept my son's diagnosis. Also, is it likely that I passed autism on to him?
