Hey all, hope this is okay to post.
I’ve recently started to realise I may have autism - I originally thought it was ADHD but when I started looking at the crossover I realise that autism might be playing a role too!
I was just wondering what were the signs that originally made you realise you have/might have autism? Especially if you were diagnosed as an adult rather than as a child.
And a follow on question - looking back what did you do as a child that was likely due to autism? I want to get tested but seeing other peoples experiences I’m worried about the process - my memory is so rubbish I’m worried they’ll think I’m just wasting their time.
Thanks in advance!
In the past I had no real clue what Autism was.
My wife's friend watched "Chris Packham - Aspergers and Me" and suggested we watch it.
Blew my mind seeing someone else experiencing difficulties I've always had (and realising that most people don't think like me).
I saw that. He's an amazing guy. The fact that I knew what he meant and where he was coming from on so many things probably should have made my potential autism more obvious to me.
