DX'd at 10, I was severly effected from about 4 onwards and surprised nobody noticed... I never made eye contact, had no idea how to talk to people, got bullied (alot).

i discovered my AS at 23, two months ago. it's amazing how many people have slipped through the system living much of their life not knowing why they were so different.

i truly hope awareness is drastically raised among the medical community to prevent many more from dealing with the same hardships so many late diagnosed individuals have had to cope with. there will inevitably be difficulties but having a dx early would make certain aspects of life much easier.

Diagnosed at age 3. Didn't find out till I was 13, though, but I didn't know the meaning of the word "autism" until then either.

Hmm, thought I had posted here.

I was diagnosed at 13, but there were suspicions from age 10.
