I was only diagnosed at 18. That's not because I didn't have the 'symptoms' when I was younger though. My family recognised that I did, but because there wasn't enough awareness of Aspergers, they assumed I wasn't Autistic because I was able to cope. Hence 'hight functioning'. I got by because I was reasonably intelligent. Also, a lot of people here who were diagnosed very late were not diagnsoed as a kid because people didn't even know what it was then.
