Hello all

MartinH

Hi all, I'm a 39 year old from London, I have a 4 year old son Myles who is Autistic, he was diagnosed just after he was 2 years old.

I also have a 19 month old son Cohen, who has just been referred to be assessed, as is he is showing characteristics of Autism.

The more I learn about Autism and seeing how Myles acts and behaves etc I believe that I am Autistic too. I went to the doctors a few months ago, but he tried to dismiss it as me being shy.

I will be seeking a second opinion as the more I think back to my childhood etc I am convinced that I am Autistic.

Anyone else in the same situation?

Thanks

  • Hi MartinH,

    I think you are right to try and understand yourself. GP's are not always so informed regarding AS. I am guessing that you would be high-functioning?

    Read as much about the subject as possible and then insist on a referal to a specialist. Be prepared for a long wait though.

    Something to think about is WHY you want to seek a profeesional opinion.
