So I'm going to try and get this down in a coherent way, but that's easier said than done.
At the age of 47 I had a mental image - probably like many other of Autism, a crying child having a melt down due to sensory overload etc. but I'd never really thought about how an adult on the spectrum might think / feel.
One evening I found myself doing some research on youtube and google and a few videos in was one 25 questions to ask yourself........
It was like someone was reading my mind and picking the questions out just to make me feel uncomfortable, anyway I got 23/25 
Now I feel relieved that I'm not the only person who thinks and feels like this, but also frustrated Ive been coping alone......
So now I'm trying to find out a bit more about getting diagnosed. The thought of going to the doctors or talking to one from the surgery on the phone is worrying to say the least - What if they dont believe me?!?!
I have Bupa through work so I'm not sure if i can use this to speed things up and skip the bits out Im worried about?
