rbmartin Report post Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) Hi there, I'm Martin, 30 from London and was misdiagnosed with Autism at 4, changed to Autistic traits at 13, which means I have an ASD, but just inside the spectrum, so can see it from the "norms" and the ASD community. Look forward to chatting with everyone. Edited May 8, 2010 by rbmartin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justine1 Report post Posted May 8, 2010 If you have an ASD you have Autism. There is no such official diagnosis as 'Autistic Traits'. Yes,Mumble is correct.Also if you are on the spectrum I can see that you may understand certain things about being NT but you cannot truely "get it" just like an NT cannot truelly get how it is to have autism.You cannot see both sides IMO!!! It is believed many/if not all people can have one or even more autistic traits that is not to say they have autism,like some people can appear to have OCD if they neat and clean compulsivley but they dont necessarily have OCD.
