Anyone else have an autistic brother who got diagnosed, but you didn’t?
So, I 27F basically started questioning if I’m autistic and I go back and forth, mostly because my boyfriend of 5 years has insisted that I’m autistic.
Mostly dudes I dated or was FWBs with (before my bf) called me autistic. Always when I had taken adderall, because I totally stop being able to keep up small talk, normal politeness, fake laughter, etc to make interactions easier. Not asking to be diagnosed based on this, just saying I’ve had more than 5 people say this.
My brother and I had a “neuropsych evaluation” in middle school where we were both given IQ tests, diagnosed with ADHD, and he was diagnosed with autism.
Do you think it’s possible that a doctor could have missed the autism in me because I’m a girl? The testing was done in like ~ 2010.
