Hi everyone, hope you're all having a good day 
I've been lurking on here for a while but haven't posted. It's great hearing other people's problems and tips, and knowing there's other people like me out there.
I'm a 28 year old woman in East Riding with a partner of fourteen years and a young son.
I'm on the waiting list for an assessment, and as such am constantly changing my own opinion on whether I'm autistic. That's why this forum is so valuable - I read other people's stories and relate, and it's comforting.
The problem is the waiting list is three years long and I've been on for around nine months. When I first got my referral I called the diagnosis place and they said they were starting up some new diagnosis clinics and hopefully the list would come down. Called this morning and was told I've still got a two and a half year wait 
it feels so long to be questioning myself, and I can't get any support from anywhere undiagnosed. My son was just two when I got referred, he'll be in school by the time I get my assessment, and I was hoping for support during the whole school thing. My family all laughed when I told them my suspicions, and I know they don't understand autism so probably wouldn't know how to help anyway, so I'm not getting much help from them either. I've got one friend who is very liberal, but even she keeps asking why I want a ''label."
I guess I've not really got any questions for you at this stage, just thought I'd introduce myself and rant a little 
Lovely to meet you all!

Forgot to share a little about my interests.
I'm a writer of fiction and have an on again off again relationship with my first novel that won't leave me alone. I play dragon age (Alistair, fenris/Isabella, Dorian), but my favourite game is probably the Sims, though I don't get much opportunity to play these days. I find serial killers fascinating, my favourite being Ted Bundy. I love anything to do with nature and animals and hate living in a city, and I'm also studying to be a proofreader, so I hope this post is free from typos
