Positive outlook

NAS38259

Hi. I first joined this a few months ago. Still waiting for diagnosis, waiting time is roughly 2 years on nhs in my area. I am hoping to find some positive conections. Although I relate to a lot of the discussions here I feel a lot make me feel down and are more of what I feel all the time on my own. I would like to feel some positiveness and joy. I am female and nearly 50 and think I am HFA tbc. Would like some contact with other older women with hfa in the hope we can be of some support to one another maybe. Share expereience and help maybe?

  • I'm a little younger, in my thirties, I am not diagnosed but have read alot about autism and taken all the usual on line "tests" which leads me to believe that I am very likely on the spectrum. 

    I am quite a positive person by nature, despite my constant over thinking. What made you decide to go for a diagnosis? I myself am unsure if it would be useful or not for myself.

    Something random that I feel it's positive in my life right now, my girls, who just turned two, are doing so so well with potty training and i am finding it is less stressful than I had anticipated. 

    What is positive in your life right now?

    Hi you say your girls, I assume they’re twins? My daughter has twin girls who are 7 months. Well done you for getting the potty training sorted, we (or not so much me as we are separated atm by the lockdown) are going through the teething stages atm. What a blessing it is though to have two lovely girls Slight smile
