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?

  • Hi I am diagnosed higher functioning autism and am female and 53. Yes I joined a week or so ago looking for similar people to me and I really relate to what others are saying so initially thought wow at last, but realised today actually that it may have made me a bit sadder!

    I want to accept myself and be positive about who I am, not think about my struggles all the time. So would be happy to be in contact if it would help.

    I agree, I think about my struggles enough so although it is nice to have the realisation that I am not the only one feeling the way I do with the struggles I do, it would most certainly be nice to find a way to be more positive about who I am. Do you have any advice about accepting yourself for who you are?

    Also, it would be nice to talk to people who understand me, but, not necessarily about Autism. Do any of you have hobbies or interests we could share?
