I was extremely autistic when I was growing up, no eye contact, temper tantrums galore, run and hid when anybody came over, when talked to would not respond, non-verbal until the age of about 5, couldn't be touched would freak out, bad sensory overloads had to wear headphones wherever I went, and meltdowns galore and etc.. Now I'm better on the eye contact thing, no temper tantrums, I actually better at socializing, and I actually can chit chat sometimes, my speech is soo much better but still have problems talking, can be touched without freaking out, can control most sensory overloads and meltdowns aren't as severe or a big thing as they were before. What I'm trying to say is that when I told one of my therapist friends I had autism, she told me she can't even tell anything is wrong with me and that she thinks I probably outgrew a lot of it, meaning I learned to adapt, where my autism doesn't show as much as it did when I was growing up. Does anybody else feel like this, that they outgrew a lot of their autism?
