L – Autism Dictionary

LLate Diagnosis There is no clinically set criteria for being late diagnosed, but it usually refers to people beyond their teenage years.Limerance is a state of intense infatuation or obsessive attraction towards another person, characterised by intrusive thoughts, a strong desire for reciprocation, and a feeling of emotional dependence. It’s often described as an overwhelming and uncontrollable feeling of longing for emotional reciprocation from the “limerent object” (LO), who is frequently idealised.
Given our ability to hyper-focus, it comes as no surprise we also have Limerance.
