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I was just wondering what were the signs that originally made you realise you have/might have autism?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!
When I went to university at 28 and other autistics mistook me for being a diagnosed autistic and then my support tutor asking if I had aaspergers. Figured I better check it out and then my mind blew
The first time I went around my boyfriend's house the first thing his mum said to me was "are you diagnosed?" But I didn't believe it and I was in sort of in denial for ages.
