Thank you, I appreciate that.

I think the way autism manifests is very different for each of us, even depending on the phase of the human life cycle. In some it can seem invisible in one stage of life, but very different in another stage of life. 

I'm sure that in some stages of my life (in my 30s?) only a person well versed in autistic traits would have seen it in me. In my early childhood it was quite evident, and if I were a child today I'd without doubt be screened as autistic by schools. In my teens, I would have as well, I think. 

Now I'm older and it seems it's intensifying. This is what requires so much expertise in the psychology professions... all the different ways it can present in different stages of life, and in different people.
