I (and my 2 sisters) believe I have autism, undiagnosed. I considered it impossible for an adult to get diagnosed but it seems I am wrong.
For me my parents clearly knew something was up as a child, I went to a mentally handicapped school instead of normal pre school and first year of infants, but then was suddenly moved to a normal school from second year infants onwards, I had very abnormal behaviour which led to lots of trips to the headmistress office and (later) bullying.
I too have no friends.
Interestingly there is no records of my childhood stuff on my medical records, its as if my history was wiped so my parents could pretend I was normal. Also I was temporarily put in a childs home as my parents almost got rid of me, but changed their mind after a few weeks.
When I embarrassed my parents due to the behaviour there was no support instead they turned away more worried about been embarrassed around their peers, e.g. after a school play I was made to walk home by myself through a dark park as my dad was too embarrassed to let people know I am his son.
I do occasionally still see my parents but only by proxy of my sister, e.g. when they come to the city to visit, they are in reality visiting my sisters, my sister would then tell me they coming and I would only see them when she picked me up and took me to her house with them there. After I stopped doing that, my parents have no issue at all driving down here, seeing my sisters, then going back without seeing me. They have not been to my flat for over 10 years.
Its horrible.
