| I came across some stuff online about parents saying how people aren't born with autism. I am just wondering, even if their kids regressed and were pretty normally developed before, how do they know? I am positive I was born with my autism because my parents could tell I was different from the 2nd d... |

| Hi everybody. I was just looking through the general autism discussion and i realized there are a ton of people who are not sure if they are autistic or not and asking about it and stuff.

thanks, those are some good helpful ideas : )
If I'm not asking too much, do you have any ideas of how to unwind different ways and reward myself while working?
I will definitely try the location one!
thanks! |

| ok so this is completely random and probably makes no sense but i've been trying to remember the name of an old video i used to watch all the time with my sister. We watched it at least 10 years ago when we were little (we were about 4 or 5) but it was our older cousin's video so it is probably olde... |
