It's very possible, Autism can be very mild to the point where its barely noticeable.

I overheard my mom talking to my dad and grandma about me coming back from what was then the Institute of Logopedics, when I was 3 years old or so. She told my sister to go play with me as i had something wrong with me that they needed to talk about.
Thats what they have been doing all of my life. I think that she said the doctors at the IOL said I was autistic and epileptic. But because I broke into the room and was trying to find out more information about me and my mother was not willing to give me that information at that time. She sent me out of the room. I have always wanted to know the answer to this question. Especially because I was told i was crazy for thinking I could be by my mother.
