I have been considering changing my surname for a long time now but having found out i'm autistic in December it felt like the right time to do it.
So the Deed Poll document was signed this morning and i took it to the post office this afternoon and i'm just waiting for my legal copies to arrive.
As i've not known i was autistic for 35 years it feels like (finally) i'm starting to understand myself better and what my strengths and weaknesses are.
I'm thinking about writing a book too in the future (amongst other things) so it will be nice to have my new name on that.
Anyway, thought i would share this news here because i don't know where else to share it!
