Autism is thought to be caused by the womb chemistry of the mother ... hence the reason why there are often several children with autism in the same family. My brother ... and a cousin, who is a university professor ... also have Asperger's. Several of the descendants of my grandmother's sister, who emigrated to Australia, are Aspies. My brother never said a word to people outside the immediate family until he was ten. He saw a child psychiatrist every two weeks for 5 years...and never said a word to her. An IQ test found that he had a 150+ IQ. He could read by the time he was 3. Within the immediate family he spoke normally, even in the presence of other people.
So, ... you went from the age of 17 until now, 2 "episodes", and no other symptoms for all these years ?
May I ask who (which specialty") made your diagnosis, and when ? Just curious. We have autism in the family.
