(Just a reminder- not all of us were lucky enough to get childhood diagnoses. Don't gatekeep.)
I pretty much know for a fact that I'm somewhere on the autism spectrum. While I don't have an "official" diagnosis, I was supposed to.
When I was young, my mom took me for a check up at my pediatrician. He noticed some of my behaviors and wanted to test me for autism diagnosis. My mom took me away and refused to have any tests done. I found all of this out 20 years after the fact, and sometimes get upset and cry about it, because she stopped me from getting help I needed.
Sometimes other people would notice though. I would get to.d how weird my behaviors were, get called things like aspie or sperg, I just always felt like I was on the outside looking in and that I'd never be normal or form any solid relationships.
I know people who were childhood diagnosed generally don't like those of us who weren't and I've gotten into tons of arguments with them. It seems I'll never really fit in anywhere sometimes.
