#AskingAutistics
I'm curious about how old you were, the first time you remember having a thought along the lines of 'I wonder if I might be autistic'?
And when did you know you were?
7 years for me, from 30-37.

@EverAutistic I was working on a tv episode, researching the use of robots in classrooms and therapy rooms to assist kids on the spectrum. To learn more about the screening tests, I opted to experience it for myself... O’ boy did that decision change my life!
I took the online test that was part of a UK awareness campaign on the underreporting of females on the spectrum.
And the rest is a much longer story...
And despite having spent two European first-class holidays on therapy and psychiatrists, the most common response when someone discovers I am on the spectrum is...
“Oh no, I know you. You are not autistic.”
