I don't want to come off as ignorant or unaware of anyone else's plight regarding this subject, but I can't help but wonder if I should have been diagnosed as a child. I have always had difficulty forming friendships and other relationships with people, to the extent that they would often fall apart on me and I would honestly have no idea why, or what I did wrong. Without rambling too much more, could anybody point me or cite an accurate definition of autism? I've been told it has to do with an inability to learn normally, but that's all that anybody could tell me about it. I apologize if I come off as ignorant, please forgive me.
