Has Anyone Sought Diagnosis For Adult Autism
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello all. I was wondering, since your child's Autism diagnosis has anyone sought a diagnosis for themselves? I remember my behavior as a child and some of the things that I do as an adult which makes me wonder if I am on the spectrum?
If anyone has had this same thought, what (if anything) have you done to find out more? Do you talk to your primary care doctor? Is diagnosis as an adult even possible? Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Since my son's diagnosis I've come to realize my husband is likely Aspie as well. Chip off the old block!

I'll pass. I'm not sure how it would change my life for the better if I've lived without knowing if I was on the spectrum. I would want to know if I had potentially fatal illness and make plans in light of that fact.
