| Does this help describe what you're saying. It tends to display around the time autism does (3 years old) Though, There isn't any materials on it after. The founders of Autism Speaks, had a Grand Child who was misdiagnosed with autism. Rather then CDD. Which helps contribute to some of the whole cu... |

| Hello all, I am struggling with my new dx. I never had social issues. In fact the teacher put shy kids next to me. At 14, something terrible happened to me, and that is when I became "autistic," and it was very very rapid and very bad. No one knows what happened. I do not know what happene... |

| Both can be true; it depends on both the person and the kind of maturity we're talking about. As kids, we often have interests that are mature for our age.

| A friend was telling me (oh, by the way, friend is NT), that Aspies are not immature but Autistic people are. I found that black and white, but I bit. This actually IS a problem for me. I am old, but never got beyond about 12. This has been a BIG PROBLEM to feel 12 and look old. I remember when the ... |

| I love that. Am I stress eating or stim eating? Ha! Yes, for me it was early, this insane need to chew. In fact they thought I had that thing called Prader Willis.

| I have had trouble with chewing for a long time. By trouble I mean I cannot stop. It is mostly food which causes trouble, of course. When I was in my 20s I would chew about 500 pieces of gum A DAY because if I did not, I would eat. Why is this? Had anyone else been able to STOP chewing? I tried othe... |

| Hi. I am glad to find you. I have had autism for a long time and still cannot cope with it. I had many ways of trying to do so, but in Jan I had an accident. I acquired a TBI as well as many injuries. Because my autism makes me hyper, I was unable to do the things I needed to do. I was also unable t... |
