wow, i had no idea that there were many people around my age also, I knew there was adults but all the media is on kids these days, and it really is offensive what media exposes, well i'm a Male: 28 yrs old and I have to say it's been one of a hell ride. autism/aspergers or whatever you wanna call it really was only known for 10-15 yrs or less, so most of us who are adults had no idea wth was going on during this time.
However alot of the research points to a mix of things related to stress/Anxiety and traumatic related events. I don't know what others think but I don't understand how all the media exposes what kids go though when Adults have had this experience for way more years then the media and we can relate to all the lies they expose without real scientific evidence.
well growing up in school was ok I guess cause my adopted family pretty much were doctors and experts in this subject so it helped me alot going though the harsh childhood that most kids have to deal with. bullying in schools, the un-education that alot of people have on this subject is way far fetched (not really that true) I have had several close friends up to high school, but of course people having to work, etc kind of torn the walls down on friendship.
If it wasn't my narrow (restricted interests) and non-social enjoyment i would of never had the experience of being self employed and during the young years becoming pretty wealthy. But what you do not know, will kill you in your adult years.
Alot of adults have worked many years in a job they hate or do not like, overworking, getting burned out stress and anxiety related with truamatic related events will get you into a horrible position. adult hood to me is the worse time i ever felt. childhood was much better then now. Everyone is different so those who have children now on the autism spectrum have a better advantage, Alot of us adults have ptsd, anxiety related disorders, ADHD, artheritis, lumbar problems (spine problems) and alot more.
So if you think your child is gonna go though hell in there childhood, it's gonna be the opposite. All I Suggest to parents is that you actually prepare them for a career that is suitable for them. (I made the mistake in working years and years in a job that deals with thousands of customers a day, Grocery industry) and I can say this screwed me up big time as an adult. I'm in hot water that will be the rest of my life most likely, permenent. (forever)
