so do you think it could go without being noticed untill the age of 45?

xXx

[kezz]

yes its possible

[HollyAnne]

ok thankyou :)

[HollyAnne]

would that mean that it would have been triggured by something? and still gone un noticed through a full mental examination? xxx

It is thought that the genes a child inherits from their parents have an important role in determining whether they will have autism. However, the exact cause is unknown and it's probably due to a combination of different factors. There is a lot of ongoing research looking into the causes of ASD.

[HollyAnne]

so if there is no family history of it the chances are slim? xxx

[kezz]

their are no blood tests to determine ASD but as a child they may of been or are a bit behind with things and one common thing connceted to it is hearing problems

[HollyAnne]

ok thats helped a lot, if i think of any more questions ill post them lol, thankyou xXx

Mmm! possibly! but they still not 100% on what causes it so thats why it hard to detect but it is alot more recognisable these days.
Years ago people would just say they are backwards and put them in institutes coz theyd say they were a danger to society but thats not the case now!

most people who suffer with aspergers syndrome tend not to have any of the learning disabilities associated with autism. But maybe have dyslexia.

[HollyAnne]

hes definatly not got any difficulty with learning i think he is just lazy and antisocial

Kid who lives a few doors down was diagnosed with aspergers a year or two ago so i'd say he was around... maybe 12 0r 13 when diagnosed....
His mum (also my god mum) noticed that a lot of the 'symptoms' she was reading about where present in Dave, her husband.
Dave was tested and turns out he has had it too.
Pretty rare considering it isn't gennetic (might be wrong... could be genetic but don't think it is)
Most people who have it go unnoticed according to google lol's
