I think something important that is definitely missing is how sensory overload/overstimulation is very common amongst folks who have ASD

This is an exceptionally clear presentation for a variety of audiences, ranging from parents to teachers and even in a professional PD as a review of presented materials. Well done.

My parents kept my diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder from me for 18 years. Now that I know, everything makes sense now. I’m 21 btw

[skubdo]

Thank you very much! I believe I have ASD, but have never been diagnosed, so this was very helpful for me.

Great presentation that has cleared up a lot prior to a forthcoming physiotherapy placement.

My eldest son now 23 years old has adhd and focal epilepsy. I showed my love on him everyday. Yes, he is unique in many different ways.

As a child, I was diagnosed with autism. Back in the mid-'80s.
Then my diagnosis was changed numerous times. I was diagnosed with everything, ranging from schizophrenia to personality and anxiety disorders. And everything was NOS. And yes, in our country "Schizophrenia NOS" was a legit diagnosis and it was used for everything that is not obvious.
Then I gave up. I lived with an "I'm just that weird dude" for a few years but still did not bring me my inner peace.
Now I'm looking back at autism, and it still looks like the best fit for me.
Socially withdrawn, hard to keep eye contact, prefer to spend time in solitude, really bad at picking up social cues, obsessed with how things work internally. I rarely feel the urge to share my thoughts and feelings with others or ask for help (when I could or even should). It's extremely hard for me to switch tasks or even switch outfits (not underwear but outer cloth, or even go out with a different bag, or without one).
Only at age 35, after some therapy sessions, I started to realize why emotions are important to people, what role they play in social interactions, and what I, in fact, experience them to a much larger extent then I realized.
And most importantly - I do understand people with confirmed autism when we talk about our 'special things'. And they do understand me.
Yet no psychiatrist ever confirmed 'autism' diagnosis since the age of 16. And they all tried numerous different SSRI-antidepressants on me, and every time I degraded from moderately functional to 'I don't want to get out of the bed'-type of stupor.


And I really feel more confused than ever.

What a pretty and informative presentation. Thank you!

I was diagnosed as a toddler with PDD-NOS, and then again at 15 with Asperger Syndrome. I agree that many people who previously had (or would have had) an Asperger Syndrome diagnosis would now be diagnosed with level 1 Autism. I also think some people who were previously diagnosed (or would have been diagnosed) with PDD-NOS would also qualify for a level 1 Autism diagnosis.
