Why are you here? My son (almost 4) is autistic and dyspraxic. I'm in the process of adult ASD testing. We're pretty sure my hubby and his father is also.

Plans for the future? Maybe have another kid, not sure.
Any comments? I'm just insanely curious to know if I'll be officially diagnosed because I want to know if I was just a "weird" child or maybe something else. I also want to know if I'm relating to my son in the same way. Right now he can't really say how he feels, but I wonder if he gets the same eebee-geebies when I hug him that I used to get when my mom hugged me (not very comfortable). I'm just curious about a lot of things about how I act and relate to people. I want to be able to explain the world to him in ways that were not explained to me so maybe he'll have less anxiety in life.
