Going out on a limb here but are both your parents high-achievers? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2064478/Autism-lin...

Not particularly (as hard as it is for a child to say about their parents). My mother has ADHD, and only diagnosed 2-3 years ago, which caused issues in school and work and any other ambitions. We're pretty sure my father has autism, but getting him formally diagnosed would make no difference. Due to him being in finance during the recession, he had trouble adapting to the new career environment.
