Are there any women here?

Hi, I’m new to the forum and want to know if there are any women here online (I’m a  female professional in my early 40s). From reading some posts you are out there but kind of in the minority....I am hoping to seek diagnosis very soon and would appreciate knowing I’m not alone out here..! Thank you

  • Hi I’m a 56 female, I was officially diagnosed with ASD Aspergers at end of January, after waiting over year on NHS waiting list. I have posted hear before, but not done so for a while. Get a bit muddled as to how one should reply, so I hope I am using the right bit.

  • Your reply looks fine to me! A year is a long time to wait. Here, in Belgium I had to wait for several months, and the tests were spread out over several weeks and it cost 300 EUR in a private centre. Do you get good advice and support once you get the diagnosis? Have you been able to share it with family/friends/colleagues? Or is it all a bit tricky?
