Confusion....

NAS76096

Im a 35 year old man who has always just been naughty, stupid or strange to other people. People have never understood me, Ive never understood people.....

My 12yo son has been diagnosed and in appointments doctors made reference to me being undiagnosed. My reply being 'nothing wrong with me....'

Now I am starting to admit I had and still am just an older version of my son. I've always battled through my life not understanding the world or people. Maybe I don't understand myself? Now I am battling with how i might deal with. 

  • Hello and welcome

    I think its quite common to find these things in ourselves through our children. I found out I may be autistic first of all through autistic children I was teaching

    There is no shame in admitting and accepting it. It can take a long time to get your head around but it is a journey worth taking. It will help you understand your whole life and the difficulties you have had with people.
    Im 34 and found out I was autistic when I was 33. Im currently waiting for my diagnostic appointment

    Any questions you have DM me on here, I am happy to help any way I can
