| You cannot say you are autistic until you have a diagnosis. You suspect you have autism. You cannot say, for a fact, that you are autistic. Period. End of story. I know myself (38 years, that's an expertise), I have done the tests which give me a clear result. I read about it, it is clearly me 100%... |

| A person is either autistic or is not autistic. If the OP’s suspicion is correct the OP is autistic. If a person gets a diagnosis of autism and the diagnosis is incorrect the person is not autistic.

| Sefl-diagnosed, I just know I have it. I am not keen on having confirmation, on having a diagnosis. Just want to deal better with it.

| By looking at the face definitely not. By looking at the behaviour maybe, if you have good observational skills. Funny enough, I've personally already spotted some "potential" aspies in my class but I've spotted like 2 or 3 "potential" aspies besides me. Each one different thoug... |
