My AS characteristics lessened at puberty and grew stronger again in my early 50's. There are other possible explanations for the timing, but I consider it interesting.

I did gain (or recognize) some traits at this age. I never noticed myself stacking things or lining things up until middle school...my social anxieties got a lot worse (not necessarily an AS thing, but it sure doesn't make things easier)...um...probably some other things I can't think of.

But I definitely have a lot of other traits that have been around since birth.

This is odd that I'm seeing a topic like this, but yes; I feel that this is extremely possible.
Maybe not a sudden boom, but a signifigant one.
I think I went through a bit of this at age 13, where others started growing up, but I fell behind.
I latched on to others and began copying them. (It's my way of compensating for social downfalls)
The next summer I went back to the same me, confined with nothing to do but read anime and play games. Of course, I love this - but I lack friends.

I probably shouldn't say this, but I think I'm being taken advantage of now (age 15) by a boy in grade 11. He began bugging me, and I was looking for a friend...so I did the most logical thing possible and became his friend. He would listen to me, and he was nice to me; but when I stayed the night at his house I found him on me when I woke up. I immediately left and took my stuff. This sucks because he was my only actual "friend."

Sorry about the above ranting session, but I guess it goes along with adoloscence because I am one. Very Happy
