hello everyone,

what an exhausting day. been for an assessment today with daughter, wont be getting a diagnosis for a while as it takes them ages to get round to it. 

The main reason im posting is because today i was asked by the person assessing my daughter if i have ASC. This is not the first time i have heard this. whilst ive been on the long road of diagnosis for my other children 3 others. we had the discussion about autism being genetically more inclined from the fathers side, but when i said that i have been married twice and have children from both marriages diagnosed he said " thats interesting"?.

when i said do you think 

i display autistic traits he said Yes, but of course im not saying you have asc.

im kind of not getting what he was getting at i am now confused.

  • Yes it does make sense, you explained it very well scorpion , thanks

    i am aware that i share traits with my children, but im 36 now and have always got around things without too many problems, i pick up on things slower than others which can lead a lot of people to think im stupid, im not it just takes a while to process what has been said to me, of course while people are stood looking at me waiting for an answer i get irritated and sometimes stutter, although i dont usually stutter, this to be honest is the one thing ive never really managed to get around
