What were the signs looking back now that you are diagnosed as an adult that were so blatantly autism that was missed. Or even if you were diagnosed as a child you what did you do ?

I remember collecting everything nuts, bolts, scrap, coins, books and films. I was also obsessed with lists. I remember standing at the window as a child and having a pen and paper and counting how many cars went past and the colours of them as well. I always made charts and lists . I also remember copying out the phone book in its entirety.
I remember being obsessed with things for years and then suddenly no longer finding it interesting. The Soviet Union, Yugoslavia were probably not to common obsessions for a 15 year old lol.
