autism

Most parents with diagnosed children can peg an autistic kid from miles away. Although each child can be completely different there is a commonality among the population that is recognizable to the trained eye. What I find interesting is the autistic tendencies that I recognize in adults. Because the diagnosis was not so common thirty years ago there is a large portion of undiagnosed adults.  It is sad for them because they have had to deal with many of their issues alone.  It appears that there are more adults being diagnosed along the spectrum later in life.   From what I have read it is a relieved feeling that they experience when they realize that there was a reason why they never really got the typical aspects of behavior.
