Yeah. I was diagnosed at 3, my mom happened to be a special needs aid and behaviorist. Specifically Autism. Over the next few years "treated" me (behavior corrections, interacting sessions, eye contact stuff, ect)

For instance, look at this video of me at 2003; I'm five in this.

And by then most of the obvious and worrying signs and mannerisms had disappeared; but still, it wasn't completely gone for another year.

For instance, you see how whenever my little sister (who is 2 years younger than me) says something, I start to repeat it, then visibly stop, and try to change it?

That's because I'm internally correcting myself from simply copying what other people say, a result of my "training".

Hell, a kid that I was once identical to at the age of 3-4 hasn't made an inch of progress. It's kind of sad, that when my mother just so happened to visit him about a year ago I was able to relate more to his younger brother (who had been a very little kid the last time I'd seen him) then him.

That being said, I guess you could say that there are "residual" amounts of it in my personality and thinking process's; but personally I prefer to think that those stem from who I am; and thus I've never identified as autistic.
