So I'm Autistic

Kstar

After years of struggling through life, being bullied for being different, feeling different to everyone else, behaving differently and inappropriately sometimes, struggling with simple things that are easy to most, turns out i'm officially autistic, I had pretty much worked it out for myself already, and I'm not sure how or if it will help or hinder me to be diagnosed now at the grand age of 50.

But I'm kind of glad, it's a relief.

  • Welcome to the club. I was diagnosed earlier this year, at 46. Still getting used to it. Some days I feel like a fake and other days I feel really autistic. Currently investigating support groups in the hope I can meet other Aspies. I haven’t really heard from my so called NT friends since I “came out”, but I have very little in common with them anyway.

    Good luck
