I think my Grandmother had Autism

Post Reply New Topic

My Grandmother passed away a couple of weeks ago. Hearing stories of her from my Grandfather, she stimmed with a tiny blanket/pillow case thing every night before she went to sleep. She was even buried with it. She was a great cook yet a fussy eater. Also, She always kept a record of everything she owned and how long she had it. She knew which was the exact date and year she got furniture or objects as well as our birthdays of course.

For example: She marked on her calendar: September 25th, Microwave thirteen years or August 15th 2010, rug 10 years.

Do you guys think she was Autistic? I'm Autistic myself by the way.

She may have, but unless she had an official diagnosis, it's hard to know for sure.
