Autism Awareness Thread

I am autistic myself

My mom had me tested to see what I could be diagnosed with when I was young

I was only diagnosed with ADHD, but she knew there was something else

She had me tested three separate times

Finally following an angry outburst when I was 16, on Halloween night, I spent time in the hospital for psychiatric stuff and FINALLY was diagnosed with autism

Wow. Cool. Yeah I was diagnosed at age 6 because I was different but suspected autistic at 4

[npixelz]

Yeah, it was nice to finally know

I see!

I watch the show "Good Doctor" which is about the life of a man with autism becoming a Doctor & Surgeon. Have you seen it? How realistic is it?

I haven't, but I heard it's a good show
