Is there anyone here who doesn’t remember being diagnosed?

As I have said before I was diagnosed as a child. But in truth, I don’t actually remember the diagnosis or the assessments all I know is that one day I was told I was Autistic and put into a Special Needs unit at school for HF Autism.

I don’t have any experience with this since I was diagnosed as an adult, but I’m wondering if you could track down your diagnostic assessment and test results. I think that’d be very interesting.

I was diagnosed at the age of 3. I have memories of being dragged from doctor to doctor---but I didn't actually find out about the actual diagnosis until I was a young adult.

I did know I was in a "brain-injured" nursery school starting when I was 5. I knew something was up.

i don't remember my diagnosis either, i don't really remember anything before i started the 3rd grade if i'm honest (third grade was important because it's when i discovered the Harry Potter books (they kept me busy for months and months.).). i don't think it's uncommon, nothing really exciting happens during your first years of life. i don't remember any of the sign language i was taught (though my mother does.). i have very vague memories of reading a Clifford The Big Red Dog book sometime in the third grade to an old man with a glass eye (thinking back i guess i must've been in some "special" education class because i struggled to read that book to him, but later in the year i was reading HP (in my head not out loud.).).

Yes I do have my notes and they are an interesting read. We have kept them as proof of diagnosis.

I was diagnosed in the mid-late 90’s. When it came to Aspergers or HFAutism it was very different era compared to now.

I was in a Special Needs unit for HFA Aspergers and some of the ways they helped especially when it came to Social Skills/Life Skills/Communication Skills which additional subjects we had to do were very much experimental and improvised.

I remember a few details about the assessment, but not the whole process clearly.

I don't remember a thing about the diagnosis procedure. I was diagnosed in fourth grade or so, and all I remember is my mom telling me I had something called Asperger's syndrome, while we were walking outside by our house. I didn't have the faintest idea what it was until I remembered that moment four years later and did some online research myself.
