Hey Everyone,
I'm Niall, a 22-year-old University student from Florida. I have not been diagnosed yet, but I have recently realized that I probably have ASD as it seems to explain my entire life (special interests, difficulties with social communication, stimming, etc.), and my score on the AQ test was 38. My parents do not believe that this is possible because, as they see it, there is nothing "wrong" with me, so if any of you have any advice on how I can start to educate them and give them a better understanding of ASD, it would be much appreciated.
I'm into music, theatre, writing/reading, history, and astrophysics. The main reason I joined this forum was so I can learn more about myself and meet some other people on the spectrum. I look forward to getting to know you!
