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I was just wondering what were the signs that originally made you realise you have/might have autism?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!
1 - Someone told me I was probably autistic.
2 - Many years ago I googled "Why do I hate everybody?".
I found a forum discussion where someone mentioned personality types, and included artistic types. I'm an artist, so that made sense.
Someone else responded "Not artistic. Autistic"
HAAHAHA
Brain farts today.
I'd actually answered this, more in depth, about a month ago.
"Not artistic. Autistic"
that bit, yes :D,
no worries, we enjoy looping :P
