I am perplexed at how rapildy my autism can increase after a neurological hit.
It was like it was just sitting there, waiting.
When I was 14, a seris of events hit which caused neuro compromise. And the autism just exploded. Prior to that, it was quite mild if at all.
Then, after the accident, it went crazy. I thought it was just the head injury, but the neuro cog testing after a year was A-OK.
So they said, "You have autism, no?"
"Um,,, yes, but not really."
"Ummm, REALLY" they said.
By it going crazy, I mean I acquired new autism symtpoms I never had that I thought were just MTBI symptopms.
Like prosopagnosia, and losing memoriy, and lost skills.
Has anyone else had autism just sitting there and gettign way worse after a neuro event?
I might add that I endured some horrific emotional events which did NOT make the autism worse, but surely exacerbated the other conditions like PTSD
But the neuro parts of autism have now gone nuts.
Makes me scared to age. How many old people have autism and are misdced as dementia?
