Autism is a developmental disorder that is present in the womb, so, yes, you were born with autism. However, that doesn't mean it can't get worse or better depending on stress, environment, etc.

This is correct by what I looked through the internet (Although internet isn't always right). I saw some information saying it runs in the families who most likely has it.

Same here I was born with CP and believe I have Aspergers. It's hard because CP can cause sensory issues and being in a wheelchair creates a certain social awkwardness and distance. My parents would it all be CP related but there are a lot of things that CP related literature and diagnostic stuff doesn't even mention as a possibility that is mentioned in the AS world that I feel is so me. Also a lot of people seem hesitant to diagnosis me with AS because of CP. Ugh as if getting diagnosed as a female could be any harder! It just makes me feel like I could be making it all up/faking it. So hard to feel validated.
I'm sorry you're struggling with this. It must be so hard trying to convince people you think you have an ASD because they don't look past one condition. That's kind of like what happened when I was little with my OCD. Sometimes I feel like people see the OCD, but not the ASD. I hope you are able to feel a little more validated!

No problem
! I can imagine how hard it is for you, since I sometimes go through the same thing myself (some people just won't believe it).
