I was diagnosed last week after my son being diagnosed earlier this year. I didn't think there was much wrong with him as he is very similar to the way I was when I was younger.
I also have been previously diagnosed with ocd in the past and had therapy for anxiety and depression. this is where I feel like a fraud because in the past I pushed for the ocd diagnosis and was also asking if I was bipolar and pushing for that too. When talking about getting autism diagnosis with my husband he said he thinks I am very suggestible - like I got the idea in my head that I was and pursued the diagnosis but I'm not really. Now I'm wondering if I exaggerated in my assessment to get diagnosed. I thought I was being honest at the time though.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place I hate these forum things.
I'm surprised you can't find it on a search engine, I use the guaranteed-to-be-private Ixquick because Google spy on people and collect personal data without permission.
It is an attempt to bring both diagnosis and spectrum disorders under a single term, that of ASD under the new diagnostic guidelines of DSM-5. Try this:-
