My brother was diagnosed first, and he was 9.

I think I was diagnosed with PDD NOS at age three or four and then later diagnosed with ADHD when I was six. I was diagnosed with Asperger's at eight or nine.

52 - no, make that 56 for the formal diagnosis. An adult with aspergers? There's something wrong there.

I was finally diagnosed at 28 with Asperger's, although there was a psychologist who said that when I was 18 that "if there were such a thing as a little bit autistic" that would fit me, since this was still before Asperger's was recognized, and I was too high functioning for an autism diagnosis.

I think I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was 1 or 2, but I didn't find out about it until I was like 12. And it was a schoolyard friend who told me, no parental or medical authority figure figured to tell me.
