Autistic Photographers NOT Images of

[Tin Can]

I know NOW I am autistic, but never diagnosed

Despite 3 years Cognitive Therapy weekly

aka 150 sessions

Making images for 50 years

Our ever more confused Internet

not much data

my take is, a STILL portrait is better than video

especially with OUT sound

If you haven't been diagnosed (a process that takes a long time) then chances are big you are NOT autistic. Just having one or two of the symptoms isn't enough, you have to have all symptoms.

Don't ask how i know. (I'm not)

Just finished the amazing and loving 1979 movie

I have done a lot of research and personal depth, finding my own difference

I read 2 PDR, but not the latest as reviews make it seem lost
n
I did not speak a word until almost 4, in my mind I waiting to make complete sentences

Not a drummer, but I needed 2 pencils tapping and toe tapping continuously in early school

I test high

Did the GRE for 'fun' age 50, the first computer version that made it way harder than paper dots

I am now old and don't give a hoot about a lot of things

Male side has many in a row with autism

The PDR (Physician Desk Reference) is a volume which contains information about prescription drugs. It does not contain any diagnostic information about medical conditions. I searched the online PDR on the words "autistic", "autism", and "spectrum", and they returned no results.

Here is a link to some information at the CDC about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

I strongly recommend that you speak with your primary care physician about your concerns.

[Tin Can]

I strongly disagree

I no longer trust any MD, mine retired

My cards are tipped

Cheers!

LOL if Tin Can was able to retire at 58 that's all I need to know. The rest is irrelevant to me.
