I have just taken several tests and I think I need to see someone and see if my findings are true…According to the tests, I may have high functioning Autism like my son or Aspergers syndrome. It would certainly answer lots of questions of why I was always painfully shy and socially awkward my whole life and perferred to be alone instead of with other people and friends.
I’m not sure who to call or where to start to get a diagnosis though…..hmmmm I have some research to do. This could also explain why I “get” my son so well and others dont seem to. Anyone else out there on the spectrum diagnosed as an adult?

Is it herititary? And is it something that gets better…..or is more managable when you become an adult?

yes, it could be hereditary…I have a severely retarded uncle that has been diagnosed as autistic as well. I don’t know if its more manageable or u just tend to avoid what is uncomfortable. I have always been a loner with not many friends and I have never understood why people love to go party or drink at bars or go somewhere with large crowds. I have been socially awkward all my life so, I think I am gonna look into this more.
