Hey, that's a very interesting perspective, thanks for sharing!

After my diagnosis I actually noticed a lot traits similar to mine in my dad. Now I'm almost 100% sure he's on the spectrum as well. The funny thing is, he has absolutely no idea about autism and I'm completely sure he would never believe that either of us has it.

My mom on the other hand... I never considered it but I will have to think about this now. Autism or not, it is possible that she struggled with some similar things as me and thus didn't see it as unusual.
