Diagnosis at 3 years old, doctor said I would never be able to even walk or talk properly. After LOTS of therapy I am 21 years old and I am next to NT only people close to me can tell I'm not

13 despite how obvious it was, but I just tell myself that I acted like my dad, who wasn’t diagnosed until after me. It really was obvious though!

Diagnosed at 17; but apparently was suspected earlier by a few teachers & parent - makes child self make more sense in retrospect.
