You don't have a diagnosis.


I was tested. My parents don't even remember the result. I think it said I have mild ADD. I went to a psychologist recently and she said I have streaks of autism, indicating I may be very high functional somewhere on the autism scale.

It doesn't mean anything. I wouldn't tell my child she/he had autism. Autism is an insult. What does a child know? All they learn is that they have a label that's an insult and that they are inside a box where they are supposed to act awkward, not social, etc. Sure, it may help some. But if I had to make the judgment, I would make the same as your parents did.
Maybe at age 18 or something tell the child about their testing history.
Except that did get me tested apparently??
