When I was a kid growing up in the 70’s I was quiet, speech impediment, went to the doctors from ages 6 to 10 they didn’t know what was wrong so they diagnosed me with aphasia. Went to speech classes in school from kindergarten to freshman year in high school. When I was 30 something happened I was rushed to the ER doctor asked me how long have you been autistic and how long have you been on social security I said “I’m not autistic I have aphasia and I never been on social security. He said you were diagnosed wrong.

My autism is relatively mild, but when I was diagnosed in high school it explained a lot about my behavior as a kid. I'm glad it no longer feels like a negative thing for you. It's hard to get to the point for many.
