When did / What made you realise?

AutisticBeaut2025

Firstly, I would like to thank you all for your help with my autism research as you have been a big part of my autism journey that I’ve been on since I’ve fallen out with my best friend and you have also made me see realise that the NeuroDiversity World is beautiful as well as complicated but I have loved every second of it.

In the meantime, I have one last challenging question for you, which is when did you realise that you were autistic and what made you go for an assessment?  If you can’t remember exactly then that’s fine but if you know roughly then that would be great.

Im just curious and intrigued

Time to get your thinking caps on!!xx

  • Hi, here is my story as well as some other members replies on this topic. It's quite a long post so I decided its better to paste tge link directly. In my case it was an accident,  although there were suggestions from my teachers in primary school that I might be autistic,  but my mom denied that and she is still in denial, but the difference now is that I don't need her opinion or help anymore.

    It was accidentally,  how I realised that the description of autism surprisingly fits my experience. I'm still not diagnosed,  waiting for my assessment. It should be in october/November this year.
