I want to know if I have any sort of autism?

I was born in Astrakhan, Russia and was in a orphanage. Had a lot of iron and lead in my body. I was adopted when I was four years-old. Also I had ADD and some orphanage delays. When I was 12, my mom wanted me to go a privet school but it cost $20,000 a year, but if I had Aspergers or PDD-NOS I would get a scholarship to pay for it! So I was diagnosed PDD-NOS. Now I'm 16 years-old and not showing any of the signs for Autism. My mom has told me that she does not think I have autism.I want to know if I have any sort of autism?
If you do not have signs now, then move on and enjoy your life. Why worry about it, if you have no symptoms now?I want to know if I have any sort of autism?
There are many adults that don't know they have signs of autism because they can function pretty well. The traditional signs of autism or severe autism may not be showing in most adults. I would only worry about it if there was problems on the job or social challenges.

A child can adapt and thus show no signs of autism outwardly if their autism is/was considered mild. If a diagnosis was obtained dishonestly you should be re-evaluated to really learn the truth. There are a few quizzes online that can give you a vague idea. Try here:
