Hello Adrian and welcome,
I got diagnosed after about five years of thinking that I was on the spectrum - this was after my son was diagnosed and I read some books on the subject. It wasn't the official line that I agreed with absolutely as applied to myself, but more the autobiographical accounts of others who had been diagnosed + I started to recognise the patterns and difficulties. I think hearing others talk or write about it who are on the spectrum is probably the best route into information about it.

Hi
Already posted in the Intro section, thought i better put my face in here
Erm, a little about me i guess :-
Dyslexic ( <<-- Thank god for google and its built in spell checker! )
OCD
And after listening to Sara today im now sure of some form of other Autisim going on too , though i kinda knew/thought that to be so for awhile.
Whilst im posting i better ask one of many questions i have :-
Should i go and see someone about my autism? as in get it labled or whatever, sorry about my clumsy putting this down, got a flood of info trying to pour though my fingers and cant quite get it out, if you know what i mean.
Ive been of the option of not bothering to see anyone about this, i know its on the ASD scale somewhere, so why bother getting someone to point and say, well, thats where you are Adrain.
Im sure someone here will say why i should, which is why im here
So happy to find this place btw, really enjoyed Sara's talk today
Adrian ^_^
