Can I just say that Autism is a sensory processing disorder?



I have a Autism diagnosis, but as an adult, I only have Learning Disorders and sensory issues, other than that I have very good social skills.



But I did develop social skills much later than usual



Autism is a developmental disorder.

It's possible that you just had social skills develop later than usual. Autism is not a Sensory processing disorder. for that matter is anything a sensory processing disorder te diagnosis doens't exist?? I think you are looking to into it. You might have autism you might not. It doesn't really matter you are you and a diagnosis isn't going to change anything.
