autistic or not?

G306

Hi all,

 

Is there anyone out there that is wondering whether or not they are autistic?

 

I have a son that was diagnosed at 2.5 years old (he's 4 now) and he is very much a stereotypical autistic boy, but the more I read about autism in females the more it sounds like me.

 

But then i think I can't be because I don't have huge sensory issues but i do have other autistic traits.

 

Thanks for reading!

  • Sensory is one of several aspects.  And it can be sensory seeking as well as sensory avoidant.  I don't hear the lights or stuff like that, but I do find it harder to listen in noisy spaces.  I used to think it was normal, but apparently not.

    The reason we call it a spectrum is because there are lots of different aspects, like a colour wheel, with highs and lows in each area.
