Hi Guys,
Just looking for some advice,my 11yr old son is currently being assesd for autism after being refrred by his peadadtriction, during his appoinment she said she had a feeling that the traits he is showning were classical ASD and now its just a case of getting the offcial diagnosis (easier siad than done 
) however she did mention that she thought it could be family related and that it was through the maternal side, i.e me. at first i dissmissed this idea however it wasnt until after the appointment and i started to research ASD it occured to me that my son does the exact same things i did as a child, as a child i used to be scared to death of motorbikes and would put my fingers in my ears to stop the sound, i was also obbssed with planes,if i had to wear a belt with cloathes had to have it and still do now extremely tight, i also so do stuff now which most other people think would be weird, e.g when i do washing i have to put a stupifd amount of washing powder in coz if i dont my cloathes dont feel clean, i am currently studying and i cant concentrate unless i have music at stupid volumes in earphones, i cant wear jeans and only stick to skirts and tights, when i wash my hair i put a ridiculous amount of shampoo/condtioner on, i also tend to tlak 10 to the dozen, and am constantly being told that others cant get a word in edgeways, i regularrly lose track of time if im doing summat i enjoy, and become really flustred and upset if people throw 2 many instructions at me at the same time, i also find myself obbsessing over things and cant stop thinking bout them, this ill last for a couple months and then i go onto summat else, the list is endless of the stuff i do and did do, i wont bore u n e more with my list of traits,lol, its just that i have always had the feeling that summat isnt quite right( if that makes sense) how do adults go about getting a diagnosis? im not saying i do have it but since doc said that a lot of things are clicking into place, or is it just my imagination running away with me?ha
