Growing up the education and the health systems failed to pick up signs I was actually autistic. I feel cheated, academically because of that. What can do you think I can do to move past this and get on with my life now?
I received a diagnosis at the age of 25. I found a few old annual reviews from school and they all contain thinking like that I took thinks very literally, trouble making friends and knowing how to play with other children. Or that I couldn't remember more than two instructions. I feel angry at the system and how I could have done a lot better in school if they'd have known at the time. This was 1996 - 2007 really, not exactly the dark ages.
