off topic,but I got to know....keno..fellow adoptee here...have you ever wanted to meet your bio family?DO you know anything about them
I have been with my adoptive family since the age of 8. I'm now 31. Naturally I've been curious to meet my biological family, but suffice to say this would be easier said than done. I know a fair bit about my mother, very little about my father, similarly very little about my grandparents and an uncle (mother's brother), and absolutely nothing about any other family members.

Yes. Or at least parents (N.B. adoptive parents) and peers tended to hint that point of view.

If you got an official DX...were you adopted young enough for you adopted family to give the DR info about your childhood?I am curious because I am going through the process now and not sure if I will be able to get a DX without this info(adopted at 5)
When I was diagnosed, they didn't need to go to my parents for info, nor did they request to. I had an interview which lasted 1½ hours, however a great part of it was about my childhood. I also left the doctor with a big report which was about my early years - it's effectively a typical, classic description of AS, so much info about my childhood was obtained that way.
I guess then, how much you remember your childhood would be a factor.
