Kiffy, anyone can have some of those gifts and most people with ASCs won't have some of them.

Fresquinn, people on the autism spectrum aren't usually "super smart".

And they don't lack empathy. Outsiders have narrow ideas about how empathy should be expressed and even narrower ones about the time frames. When news comes of someones illness injury or disability, guess who are the ones that lie awake at night thinking about it for years afterwards.

The other things you have listed are not strong signs of an ASC being present or not.

That being said Fresquinn your attitude could be a useful example because if you didn't need to access specialised help then you didn't need a diagnosis so the question whether one would have been relevant didn't arise. In my case I have always had lots of ailments so it was of help to professionals to see the contributing elements from each one, as well as me developing better adaptations.

Kiffy and Lifeshould, can you explain why you need help?

Kiffy don't worry because while there's no cure it can open the way to find better adaptations.
