It’s a broad Spectrum. Maybe a lot of us are undiagnosed.

I did an online test which said I don’t have it.

Just checked: 4 out of 50 on the Autism Spectrum Quotient.

Is autism supposed to be common with schizophrenia type disorders? I wasn’t aware. No I don’t have autism but my sister thinks everyone has autism and I find that strange.

My partner has ASD. We suit each other very well :grinning:

I took an online test before and do have a lot of the traits. But I can fluctuate a lot and don’t think I have autism.

There could be a link between autism and sz, or it could be a bunch of shared traits. I’m not sure :thinking:

I have it, but did not get diagnosed until recently.

When I found out I was very upset, as I went through several schools as a kid, and no one bothered to find out why I used to get into so much trouble.

Instead I was just moved around as a ‘problem’, and nothing was done to try and see why things were as they were.

Don’t think in my school days people really knew about it.

The benefit of a diagnosis is felt most at school is my view, as if the teachers had this info things would I hope have been so much different

I don’t have autism diagnosed in me. But I may have it idk. If I do, I don’t care to find out it is too effortful for what it is worth.

Yeah I got Asperger’s.

I am and my husband is also

I have been said i may have autism but a doctor came to a conclusion i didnt have it i may have adhd though i have had many symptons of that over the years but never got tested for it anyways.

Sz and autism can share some symptoms sometimes.

I’m not autistic, but I have ADHD and am very neurodiverse.
