Autism varies in its degrees, from incredibly severe to so light you wouldn't notice. When I was little, there was so much wrong with me they couldn't give a clear diagnosis - but they leaned towards Aspergers or something similar. My middle school was a place designed to work with said cases (ADD, ADHD, very mild autism etc) - so I changed to a certain extent. I had more problems with inabilities in reading social cues and facial expressions - and still do, to a certain extent. But certainly I didn't have it as bad as it can be. I talk like it's in the past, but it's something that doesn't really go away; it's something you have to work at.

Don't mind my uninformed rant.
