Myself i think when i was younger if i was tested it would of shown i was on the spectrum too as i was always a bit different then other kids.Not sure if the is any point in going to be tested now. But i defo want to make sure my daughter will have the answers and help i never did. |
Good on you. :)
I wasn't diagnosed until I was 19 as I lived in a small country town a long way from any specialists or experts, and didn't quite fit the rather narrow and poorly understood definition of what autism was considered to be back in the 90s.
Getting a diagnosis was a moment of revelation and great relief for me, it was so great to finally have an answer and to be able to understand myself better and ultimately find self-acceptance.
