Although Answers dot com tells me it can't happen, I swear I am an adult who is developing Autism. My brain has turned from one that craved being involved with lots of friends, family, hubby and kids - wonderful interpersonal relationships - to one that is just made of wheels, gears, cogs, and lists off of which items need to be checked. A brain that releases serotonin only when projects are completed... which is hardly ever. Sad.
Apparently I am not the only person who suffers with this same fear, because when I started typing the words, "can a person develop" the option popped up for "can a person develop autism in adulthood."
So, whether it's Autism or early onset 'something' or 'another', I am going to convince myself that it's just a phase and that one day it will all be just fine.
It's the "Get It Done Yesterday" phase of life. This too shall pass! Strange thing is...you'll remember it fondly and miss it. No. Really.
