hi all as i wrote in a previous post im on a waiting list for an assessment. im now in my 30s, been under mental health teams most of my life given most diagnosis's there is going and none really fitted. my previous social worker gave me a booklet and said that she thinks i might have autism and thats where i was refered from. the booklet she gave me to read made sense, traits and struggles of someone with autism, it made complete sense, so now im waiting for the assessment prob about a year. i am diagnosed with depression anxiety and a disosociative disorder and i think if i get an autism diagnosis it will make these things make alot more sense. the dissosociative disorder is a difficult one, i get overwhelmed by stuff around me and go blank loose time, but i need routine things to be the same and when i go blank it stops me being able to have these things, but because im so overwhelmed its not something i can control. wondered if anyone here has dissosociation and autism and how they manage this. sorry to ramble its hard to explain, thanks
