I am late in life diagnosed as autistic. I couldn't talk until I was 5, had all of the add, adhd, the whole package. I was that nightmare kid that every parent dreads to get.

I reckon so. I don't know where autism ends and being a nerd begins, or what's just being online

Its worth bringing up with your doctor. I was years and had no idea why I was so "different". I have mental illness and my medications treat it pretty good but there were always things that it seemed like the meds never helped and I was thinking for years that I needed better meds but it is the autistic traits I was mistaking for mental illness traits. what I understood, I realized that I already am on good meds, the autism, you just live with it. There are meds out there for those conditions but its basically prescribed meth, you don't want anything to do with that.

My son was diagnosed at almost a year old
he wasn't doing stuff that a year old baby was doing, he was still crawling and he couldn't talk
still in pampers for a long time, he's still non verbal right this day, he takes resperidone which helps his behavior, he's smart in his own way
he's 21 now and he goes to thoughts a program to teach him to be independent and help him with things
