Women on the Spectrum... revisited

.

It got BIG again! We have such a community of wonderful women here that we keep being victims of our own success!

Due to the thread http://community.autism.org.uk/f/adults-on-the-autistic-spectrum/9261/help-are-there-any-women-in-this-community-with-asd getting enormous, I have started a new post! (again)... :) 

Keep in touch

  • Glad to see this thread. 

    I've come to the realisation in the past month that I'm probably on the autistic spectrum (43 year old woman, no kids, working full time) and my father probably is too. It would explain our quirks and challenges and how these have and continue to impact our lives. At this stage, I feel quite positive about this discovery and the possibility of connecting with a community and greater understanding.  

    I'm in the early stages of gathering info for a referral and am reading up on the experiences of women with a diagnosis of ASC and the work of Tony Attwood (I love that man) and Sarah Hendrickx among others. 

    I imagine that as my journey progresses I'll be stopping by here more often to ask for your advice and reflections. 

    At this stage I'm just really wishing to say 'hello' to you all and that I'm glad forums such as these exist.
