Why the retest? The DSM 5 says all proper previous diagnosis carry over but are renamed.

I am on disability for that and other stuff. And the disability people think it will some how just poof and go away. :lol:

So they make me get all retested for all my stuff. To see if I still have it.

I believe it would have been around 2002, when I was about nine.

This is pretty weird! I was diagnosed at 13, I'm going into eighth grade, and I was born in the fall of 2003!

I don't know if you can be diagnosed when born but, I remember being diagnosed from birth pretty much. I was born 3 months premature so, maybe it's possible, I don't know.

My mother never mentioned an age so, I guess my whole life!

2017

I was assessed as a child in the 1970's but was not diagnosed at the time as I had normal intelligence and lacked disruptive behaviors.

I was diagnosed with Autism when I was 13 or 14. It was a very emotional, I was in a hospital for about a year because of how many issues that were going on with me. That's when they tested me and diagnosed me with Autism.
