Questions about autism. Please help?
Hello, I've been a quiet student from I was on Kindergarden until now Junior High School 2nd year . The reason I posted this is because my friends started to say that I am a bit of autistic. They said that I always sit alone and play alone. But in fact, I do. I am not really a good friend since I do not socialize very well. I am smart though, which I think people become my friends. I get the highest grade in my class. Yeah, I am always quiet. At first, I ignore my friends saying that I am autistic, but now I feel that maybe they are right. I mean, I have seen my friend who is a bit idiot sorry, he is idiot, he was born with a bit of malfunction in his brain , and the way he find attention is just like me. I even play the games I used to play on primary, my friends don't quite like it though, but they play to make me happy. Am I really autistic or am I just a loner? The Loner

Can autism even high functioning cause incontinence?
I have an older cousin who is very intelligent but wears diapers. My aunt says that it is because he has autism. This made me curious, so I looked online and found a list of traits for ASD. I was shocked to see that there were quite a few physical traits that went along with the mental disability. Seizure activity, insomnia, and food allergies are some of the other physical traits packaged with autism. What I want to know is it normal for people with high functioning autism, who work and go to school, to have incontinence? I always thought it was an issue with the mental functionality of the particular autistic patient and not an actual physical problem. If it is a physical issue that causes the incontinence then explain to me why even high functioning individuals still have these physical conditions? Like is it genetic or something?

Please i need answers about this. people with autism in their life please answer.?
Hi everyone I have writed something just recently on here about my suspicion on a mild case of autism. But i didnt think i got really good answers... so if there are anyone with maybe autism or have experience on it please it would mean alot of you answered me. My symptoms is I am not social at all to be honest i can be social with my friends and my family a little bit but i get tired of it and just wanna get home and like restore. I usually just hang out in my house and dont really like to get out, and i also dont feel any need for it. I do good in school i get average or bit over average in math, biology, english and stuff. and i dont have any speech delays. I sometimes cant make a conversation go on when im talking to a stranger or something and i find it very awkard sometimes to speak to people i dont really know that well. I also have a special ability to just like remember all dates of random people birthdates and the time of their death. i am also very good at remembering phone numbers and if my friends cant remember a phone number ill just solve it out for them since i usually always remember it. I have taken memory tests online and pretty much in everyone of them i score ALOT over average. I also have a little bit of a fascination for numbers and dates especially if both of them mixed togeter. Its not something that i think of in my day, but when talking about dates and numbers i have a unusual opinion about it. i also sometimes look at car number plates and try to remember them. I also have this thing that when i find something interesting i like to carry ALOT of information on just that one thing. It can be on dates, certain persons, tests, or something like that. I dont really care about what cloth i have on and stuff and really dont care what other people think of me. I also have have an urge to correct people if they say something wrong.. or if i watch something on tv i have an urge to tell all the information about what we are seeing before i can watch it trough. Overall i feel kinda normal and i also kinda knows how to behave in social enviroments but i have theese thing above. Could i have a mild case of autism?

Is it possible to have undiagnosed autism at age 18?

Has anyone ever officially recovered from autism?
Anyone in the world? My psychiatrists are saying that i show some signs of autism.. But in all my honesty, i think i don't have autism at all. I did have 2 friends before that had autism.. Right now, i just have a social anxiety a huge one and a severe depression. I remember being in 6th grade and being very social, not shy, happy, smiling, being loved by my whole class and didn't have a fear to talk to anyone.. I always felt great. Then in 7th grade i got bullied and my mood just went down hill and it's never coming up again.. My psychiatrists said they wanna do a diagnosis.. Not sure when..If i do have it, can i recover from it? Possibly?
Have a question that is about a kid with Autism ?
Ok so I am interested in the medical field I especially like cardiology and learning about people hwo are I should say kinda mentally handicap like for example people who have autism or that are autistic. So anyway back to my question there is this kid in my math class hwo has autism and yes I am in learning support classes because I have ADHD. Anyway when I sometimes observe his actions I see that he sometimes squeezes his hands and rubs them and it also looks like he is bitting his bottom lip and sometimes it looks like he is bitting it really hard also closing his eyes and it makes it look like he is doing something really hard but it's kinda hard to explain. I'm not sure if he's thinking really hard about something or I have no idea I've never seen this type of behavior before wit autistic people. I've seen them look around the room but I know even though it looks like they are not paying attention I know they are actually listening. But anyway i have never seen any autistic kid do what he does is he thinking really hard or doing something else idk please comment back appropriately and thank you Noah
