Those of us on the autism spectrum are as deserve and different as those not on the autism spectrum and there is no one type… If your not sure I suggest do some more reading, as truly no label changes who we are, but understanding self can make a huge difference…Discovering if your on the autism spectrum, if you have AS can take a while and I often feel people are there own best judges, its not a matter of a simply check list, I wasn’t diagnosed with any think until in my late 40s, I have many co morbid, associated conditions. Autism is the center, the differently minded part, as for diagnosis.. I feel its best before thinking about being diagnosed, write down as much information as you can will really help, back to when you were a child. As we get older we learn to change and adapt, does not mean we do not still have those differences, do what your doing now research and read as much as you can and then decide, if you feel you are I always say its best to know for sure before being diagnosed, as truly not about the label, any word its about true identity.Some things you can do, if you want to know more list, criteria ands test: AS Symtoms (Full Official Criteria) and take the AQ Test: http://asplanet.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=63
