Yes, I do know a bit about it, I am enrolled in therapy and I am looking forward to that but am also a bit scared. They told me I have Classic Autism. Treatment is necessary as Autism is not something that is curable.

response: Good for you, do you think you had any risk factors for autism? Some of them would be family history, older parents, and certain genetic conditions

I am not sure about any risk factors. I have a cousin who is Autistic but she has Asperger's Syndrome which is also a form of autism.

Her symptoms are very noticeable so it was not difficult for them to get her diagnosed, but with me I think my symptoms were a bit more subtle. My mom feels guilty because she said in retrospect I always avoided eye contact and loved to be alone and would freak out if even minor changes were made around me
knowledge: Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and unusual use of language are common.
response: Got it, what can you tell me about unusual use of language ? This is a common symptom
