2014 at age 21. Really wish my mom had gotten me diagnosed at age 8 when she suspected autism was my problem.

2000/2001 around four or five. I think they labelled me way too soon.

Somewhere between 2012 and 2014. I am terrible at keeping track of time and dates. I could find the documents, but I think they're under my parents' care somewhere (I'd lose them if I had them under my own watch).

1994 at age 7. Asperger syndrome was not commonly diagnosed in the Netherlands back then, which is one of the reasons why I was simply diagnosed as 'autistic'.

I don't even know to be honest, they didn't tell me. I would venture to say 2005 or 2006 but I don't know when things were official and I was being "treated" for a while before that and had an IEP. Basically once the social deficit become clear in my preteens it became much more obvious.

It was a weird haze, the process started in 2011 but finished in 2012 but my diagnoses changed in 2015.

I was 14 at the time of my diagnoses.

That reminds me, apparently I was assessed for "classic autism" at about 2.5-3 because of my extreme quietness and introversion, but because I could interact with the professionals and had no intellectual delay they said no. If only Asperger's had been tested for back in 1997 Iowa :|.

And so, as the flower is a flowering of the field, I feel myself as a personing- a manning- a peopling of the whole universe. –In other words, I, like everything else in the universe, seem to be a center… a sort of vortex, at which the whole energy of the universe realizes itself- comes alive… an aperture through which the whole universe is conscious of itself. In other words, I go with it as a center to a circumference.”~ Alan Watts
