Adult Autism

martie1118

Hi, I am an adult who has Cerebral Palsy with Epilepsy and next month I'm going to be tested for Autism because my doctor and other health professionals have said that I have signs of Autism. Can anyone advise me on what to expect and if it is common in people with Cerebral Palsy?

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Heya @martie1118 I understand the apprehension, but the assessment for ASD isn't anything bad. I got quite emotional during mine, as they do ask questions from your childhood and often ask for information from your parents regarding your development. I'm 45 and was diagnosed almost two years ago now and I'm so happy I went through with the assessment.
