while it is more likely for you to have autism if a lot of your family is autistic, it's still completely possible for you to be autistic even if your family isn't

cool cool

It does work like that. I have been diagnosed as autistic, but no one else in my family is autistic.

hmm. good to know, thanks:)

i suspect i have autism as well

As a porautistic person myself, if you dont know what sleeps means and if a trillions of ideas are crossing your head every seconds, then you re one true autistic person. And for your family, an autism can be hidden for years until its discovered (exemple : we'd only discovered that my 50 yro dad had autism a year ago)

that's interesting! its not exactly like that for me, but i'll check in with my family about, like, autism history and stuff

ok
