A New Chapter

You're most welcome.  It realy is the best advice I can think of.  Sometimes it may feel like time is being wasted or that you're forgotten, but honestly, if you feel like that, contact the person or people involved to ask about the progress of your case.  Sometimes a "gentle reminder" can help both you and them

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you, for the encouragement to hang on.

Nicely put, I'm sure many here will identify with that line.

Only waited forty years eh? I think you'll find a few around here that can match that, and more than one or two who waited longer.

You're certainly not alone here Nebbo.

To all those struggling to get a diagnosis or waiting for a diagnosis,  hang on in there.

Agree wholeheartedly. Despite the stuff I struggle with, knowing I'm on the spectrum has been life changing. My history, my present struggles, my exhaustion with people (or just life in general), even my overwhelming sense that the only company I need is my cat all slotted into place.

Welcome aboard.
