I am 33 yrs old. My entire adult experience can be characterized by my involvement in alternative healing. My interests started in an attempt to try to heal myself. I have some behavoirs and patterns in my life and other things about me and my life that have been more challenging for me than for others. It has been unclear to me why things in my life are challenging in the ways that they are. Several years ago I saw a woman on Oprah that gave her testimony about learning as an adult that she was autistic. Her sympsoms were the same symptoms that I suffer from. I think that I may be autistic. I have research autism on the internet. Most information that I have come across about the subject is focussed on children. I need information about adults that are diagnosed in adulthood with autism.

Autism is a psychiatric term and the diagnosis is the same whether you are an adult or child. If you fit the criteria then you are diagnosed as such. I am lucky my son got diagnosed at age 2. People who were not diagnosed as a kid, have to go through the same criteria- a professional to diagnosed you. You may be on the spectrum of the umbrella called PDD which is a Pervasive Development Disorder that branches off Autism and Asperger (which many people call High Functioning Autism. Most kids who are able to cope in society and function at your level (if you are) are considered Asperger or PDD NOS which is you have Autism characteristics but undetermined. Try the istes listed below and if you want to talk more connect to me at Yahoo360. Good Luck!
Hi! Here are some of the best (in my opinion) resources on that topic:
Websites:
“The Discovery of ‘Aspie’ Criteria” by Carol Gray and Tony Attwood – http://www.thegraycenter.org/sectionsdet… http://www.aspergianpride.com/ (If you’re looking for a message board to talk with other persons with autism).
Books:
Jerry Newport, “Your Life is Not a Label: A Guide to Living Fully with Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome” (VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
Temple Grandin, “Thinking In Pictures and Other Reports from My Life with Autism” and “Emergence: Labeled Autistic”
Edgar R. Schneider, “Living the Good Life with Autism”
Stephen Shore, “Beyond the Wall: Personal Experiences with Autism and Asperger Syndrome”
William Stillman, “Demystifying the Autistic Experience”
Best of luck to you!
