    Hi,
    I have autism and was wondering if/how many others on here have autism or are on the spectrum.

    I do. I was diagnosed with Aspergers at 15, and it's why I have a lot of my quirks.

    I was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was 2 years old. Mind you, it's very mild compared to some cases, but maybe it has something to do with being diagnosed early.

    I don't, however I do have a big understanding of it as my cousin has mild Autism and we have had a lot to do with his early intervention when he was very young. He has turned into a very well adjusted young man now and I am very proud of his achievements.

    There are many people with autism around the forum, you aren't alone! I was investigated for Aspergers a while back but it seemed to die down.

    Small world eh? You'll easily find more people with things such as Autism (like me) around here by the looks of things.

    It has been my eternal shame, I've told more people I'm bisexual then being on the spectrum.

    I am quite honestly a bit shocked by the amount of members with autism/aspergers we have on here. It is a testament to how well anyone with these conditions can blend in, but it also makes me wonder if there is some connection between being LGBT+ and having these conditions. I don't really think so, but this topic is a bit overwhelming.

    And no, I have neither autism nor aspergers.

    I thought at one point in the past that I had Aspergers Syndrome, but professional opinion changed my mind. I just have some developmental delays due to a restricted upbringing.
