Sorry to hear about your mom. I didn’t realize that specific criteria is needed to ne officially diagnosed.

So, how did having an autistic mom affect you?

I’m definitely introverted, shy, quirky (like I dress a bit different than most people in my area) that’s not necessarily a sign of autism though. A lot of people think that I have a great sense of style.

I also have some social anxiety & I get stressed out easily. I’m a sensitive person but I don’t have any other autistic traits like sesitivity to food, noise, clothing or lighting.

Not being the most socially savvy person out there & not outgoing & confident means that someone is autistic.
