Though I'm sure most say this, the realization that "Oh, I might be autistic," was quite an enlightening one though an idea that had existed vaguely in my head since 13 when it was first suggested that I seemed "a little bit" autistic. Since then, several other people have noted that I seem to be autistic, with some even describing it as being quite obvious ("you don't mask at all," as one schoolmate stated.) Hindsights 20/20, I see where they're coming from with that statement, especially looking at younger me.
When I was a child, I was knocked unconscious when a large bull struck me and rendered me unconscious. I almost died. This occurred around age 3 or 4. I weighted about 20 pounds and the bull weighed around 1,000. At that age it is almost like being attacked by a large dinosaur.
Humans have two brains, one on the right side and the other on the left. These two brain sides connect together through the corpus callosum. By the time a child is 12 years old, their corpus callosum will have finished developing. It will then remain unchanged into adulthood and throughout the rest of their life. Beginning around 50 years ago, some people had their corpus callosum removed. The result was people with two independent brains.
As a child grows into a man (around age 10-12, they undergo significant changes. They become very different. So although I did not exhibit adverse traits when I was very young. They all came to the surface around the time when a child transitions to a man. That is because in my opinion, I never made the transition.
