Obviously ignored the first time so I will try again.

Lizzie -

Neither you nor any of your family have been diagnosed as autistic by a qualified professional.

By stating that everyone with any of the symptoms you mention could be suffering from autism have you the remotest idea what damage you are doing to people who genuinely want to help? If we were to include everyone with any of the symptoms in your 'circle' I think you would find that 60 or 70% of the population, having exhibited at least one trait at some time in their lives, would be diagnosed by you as being autistic. If more than 50% of the population have the same condition it is obviously the norm and should, therefore, not be treated at all. Is that what you want?

There is one thing I would agree with. You realy do need help.
