Autism-World

Ask:

Im curious I just want to know if there is somewhere I could go to get a test determing if its autism or something else. Im 21 years old and sometimes I feel like I had autism all my life. Any information will be appreciated.

Answer:

You are never to old to get tested, many people have gone years and years without a diagnoses because the understanding about autism was just not avalible as it is now ( though there is much much more to understand)

I am just guessing, but I do not think you would have Autism, you have too much emotional knowledge and understanding of yourself , you may however have Aspergers.
Autism is on a spectrum.
Pervasive development disorders or PDD is what autism and aspergers fall under
If Autism is the worst on the spectrum then aspergers is the least worst… It is hard to explain and rather complicated at times.

Classic autism is rather easy to spot, aspergers is not.
You can call or go into the office and ask for more information.
I can not of course diagnose so my thoughts are not part of autism ontario the are my own.
