| I was diagnosed at 3-4 years of age with autism since people noticed a lot of my signs. I medically first got diagnosed at 3 and a half years of age then diagnosed at school later on at 4 years of age. I guess i got diagnosed twice in such a short time period. If you have been early diagnosed with a... |

| I really enjoy being so passionate and focused on something. Having things to do and things that i love to do gives me more purpose in life than anything else ever could. But the rest of autism, i don't really enjoy dealing with, of course/obviously. |

So when i was diagnosed, my autism was disabling and was severe in my opinion, so i was sent to another school for special ed programs and for IBI programs. That program made things so much easier for me, and i could do stuff i couldn't do as a chi... |

| Hey guys. I have this weird thing i need to post and to get off my chest as i'm just so confused and weirded out by something relating to my meltdown episodes. So, some people say that an autistic meltdown is not a temper tantrum, simply because they're tired and frustrated about the parents and oth... |

| I wonder why it didn't start off using both Awareness and Acceptance as a part of its' name. Or why it's not discussed now, because people seem conflicted on what to call the month from my perspective. Putting in those two may, at the very least, tighten any gap between the actually autistic advocat... |

| I'm 27 and this is the most coherent, most social I ever been I think it's because it's the internet. The internet hosts a lot of sites for a lot of niche topics, including autism and this site, so it's easier to find a community on the net than in real life. Just my thoughts. I'm also very coheren... |

| I think it's an attempt to educate people and call attention to it. I've been posting informative stuff on my FB timeline That's nice of them, but i really think they should include AWARENESS as well. And not just Acceptance of autism. The month should really be called Autism Awareness and Acceptan... |

| My 19 year old daughter is in exactly the same situation as you. She's currently in tech college but is still tossing up what to do for a career. May I ask if your parents will support you with independent living? We plan to buy an investment property to set her up while she tries to land work. We'... |

My parents asking me among others about my job just pressures me and makes me super frustrated because i have s... |

| My daughter has done a carer’s assessment. It’s for the autism related adaptive functioning difficulties, rather than for the mental health related issues. She, in no particular order of importance, sorts my medication, takes me to appointments, deals generally with my physical health related matte... |
