My name is Eric Milton, & I have Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, OCD, anxiety disorder, & auditory processing disorder. When I was flying home to the United States from Israel back in April 2014, the flight attendant asked about my breakfast drink. I said, "What was that?" She then repeated, and again two times I asked for repetition. She thought I was pranking her, and she showed it clearly. That is when my mother said, "Uh, he has an auditory processing disorder." The flight attendant apologized saying, "I am sorry" and "I thought that he was only kidding." My point that I am making is do not assume I am not autistic, but do not assume that I am either. It is not always obvious.
