Hi all!
I'm new to this site and wanted to share my story and gain some advice if possible.
Im 27 and last year I met my real father for the first time, it became obvious that he has either aspergers or autism due to many things he said/did, long story and won't bore you with that. My half brother, his son, also has learning difficulties.
My 7 year old son has recently been diagnoised with ADHD and as a toddler showed asd traits.
I came across the AQ test this evening i got a score of 30, so above average.
I researched this further (and found this site) and found a list of common aspergers traits, i read them to my hubby (didnt tell them what it was for) and he said i had all those traits.
All my life i have felt "different". I would say my main "trait" would be that I. HAVE. TO. HAVE. A. PLAN. FOR. EVERYTHING! to the extenct that it drives my hubby mad, he doesnt understand that i have to have one, he thinks that i can control it but i really cant. I completly freak out if my plan changes dramictally. I also hate making friends, hate talking to people i don't know or phoning companies etc. I come across as rude but truth is i just hate talking to people
Do you think I have inherited "traits" from my father and then passed adhd onto my son?? Am I too old to get a DX? How do I go about getting a DX?
Thank you for reading my epic post and look forward to all advice
