Welcome! I go by Roxas here (like from Kingdom Hearts II). You wanted to meet poeple, I guess im the first you will meet.

As for information on Autism Spectrum Disorders, well, first thing you need to know is that it is a spectrum, meaning that there are mutiple levels by which one can have autisic traits. Of course, if we said everyone with a single autistic trait has ASD, then that would include over 6 billion people! Everyone has traits, but those with "more traits than usual" are usually the ones diagnosed with some form of ASD.

Anyways, out of curiousity, why do you need this information? Is it for you or someone else, and are they diagnosed or no? What are they diagnosed with? You don't have to answer, but it would help in the giving of information if we knew a little more about what information you are seeking.

Anyways, Happy New Year!

Roxas

Hello Laurajstx,

Welcome to WP.

I noted on your profile that you are not sure if you have ASD. Are you intending on seeking a professional opinion for diagnosis?

I'm sure you'll have fun here.
