| I got diagnosed with autism (level 1 support needs, although I don't hold much stock by these levels) this Saturday just gone. Glad to have the label officially now, finally. |

| Does anyone else find themselves almost grieving the adolescence they could have had had they been diagnosed at an earlier age? I realised I was autistic as a young teenager and even then, I had some sadness about not having known why I had felt different all my life. But now I'm an adult I'm realis... |

| So I'm no longer a 13 year old girl, I'm now a 19 year old guy. I never did get assessed- and I didn't talk to my parents about it until I was 17. I had a GP appointment about a referral when I was 18. I'm now waiting to hear if I'm on the adult waiting list. While I did not have meltdowns when I w... |

| Could relating better with adults than children potentially be indicative of something akin to ASD, or is this also a relatively common feature of neurotypical people? |

| I see your point Firefox. Wanting to hide away could easily be introversion. However, my family members and close family friends (the adults, anyway) would not believe me to be introverted, as I can talk for hours about some topics such as Harry Potter and know many, many details about the books and... |

| Okay. I have a question. Do you know when symptoms have to become apparent? Because I remember lining and cataloguing my pet minifigures from age seven, but I didn't act strangely socially before I was about six as far as I remember. Does one have to be 'different' at nursery school level too? |

| Thank you. So is there no way to be assessed without your parents' knowledge, for example, at school? I just don't think my parents would allow me to, and they will just think I'm overreacting or something of the like. Is diagnosis done using ISD-10 or DSM-5 as well? |

| I think I might have Asperger's, but I really am not sure. I don't have meltdowns or shutdowns. I am not skilled at recognising social cues but I have several friends. I can offer emotional support but I automatically offer solutions to problems if somebody is upset. I have on occasion given somebod... |
