enquiry about autism spectrum for my son

@littlebit71 You've asked an interesting question, to be sure!

I myself am on the autism spectrum, formally diagnosed with Aspergers in 2013 [gosh, 10 years already!] For a long time before then it was evident to me there was a major disconnect between others and myself, how my life had gone and my response to life in general. In my humble opinion, while there are tests that can give scores, and point towards a diagnosis, that same diagnosis can vary on a day-to-day basis, depending on situations, and be very subjective.

From Embrace Autism, here is their website, and offerings of information and diagnostic testing: https://embrace-autism.com/ For what it may be worth, I took a self-assessment test this morning from there, and scored 40, definitely on the spectrum per their resources.

Please let me know if this helps you understand the situation you find yourself in.
Ginger
