Am I really autistic

Post Reply New Topic

I was diagnosed as autistic a year ago, although i do have quite a few autistic traits, i dont seem to have any real difficulties outside of being socially awkward,(ive only gone non-verbal once in my entire life) do you have to have sensory issues and meltdowns to,be autistic?

No, you don't. I have very few meltdowns and not much in the way of sensory issues. I would suggest, however, that going non-verbal is a fairly strong indicator, if added to the social awkwardness.
