cc6 - I absolutely understand the "IF". I was gifted as a child (I think I lost all my giftedness when I gave birth to my two monkeys! lol) and I also have a lot of the same issues as both of our boys. And as far as I know, I'm not autistic. I'm just overly sensitive to too many things and tend to tune out a lot to compensate. I am 100% sure I'd be labeled autistic if I was a child now and going through an evaluation. But that still doesn't answer whether one or both or neither of the boys are Autistic or not. It just makes me always wonder. So finding an actual issue we can work on rather than keep guessing is a huge improvement.
