Just thought I'd say "hello" due to being new on this site. What brought me here is my history with Autism. You see, I was diagnosed with mild to moderate Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of 2. I was given 5 years of early intervention therapy until the age of 7. I got re-evaluated at the age of 13 and no longer qualify for a diagnosis. Yes, I still have subtle symptoms and I am aware of them. However, everyone outside of close family wouldn't even consider such symptoms being because of Autism Spectrum Disorder. They all definitely notice though... Anyways, I suppose you could consider me one of those, "Optimal Outcome" people. I still have my struggles but I am able to function and I am treated normally so that's all I can ask for.
