ANOTHER NEW MEMBER!

Having watched Chris Packham's documentary, and then Googled femail traits, at the grand old age of 61, everything that I have been through throughout my life, finally made complete sense.

I am a highly effective and very focused person, but have always seen everything in black and white. I can't take loud noises, and have to put my hands over my ears with certain adverts on the telly (Barclays bank with the horses and pot noodles with the donkey!) as it shatters my equilibrium. I have spent my entire life unwittingly upsetting everybody by being too direct, and not understanding why I'm being persecuted when I'm trying to help and be clear....

Now I know. Thank God I know. That documentary has changed my life. I have looked up the traits, and am a text book case. I don't need a diagnosis.

  • I had a similar sense of relief and it didn't just seem highly likely to me that i was autistic but blindingly obvious that i was Smile

    You will gain a much greater understanding of yourself now and what your strengths and weaknesses are, at least that's what i found early on. 

    It also helped my self esteem and confidence. 

    Anyway welcome and thanks for sharing this with us Slight smile
