You know what's funny? My son was evaluated for is as there was some concern because of a lot of ASD in my family.

I told them "ok, but he's really just pretty similar to me". I haven't been diagnosed. I do have extremely bad general anxiety.

And his evaluation showed no risk, but some possible connection if anxiety couldn't be ruled out. Turns out, anxiety couldn't be ruled out.

Yep. I'm so anxious it looks like ASD apparently.

This ~~is really similar to~~ reminds me of this post, which I think about a lot.

Edit: hopefully slightly more accurate

Except that's like the opposite of what I said.

I was evaluated and never diagnosed with ASD, but I had GAD and ADHD. I predicted, correctly, my son would be the same.
