Hey folks. My name is Kali I'm a late diagnosed autistic female. I am travelling in the UK from NZ.
I'm struggling a lot right now. I have just left a relationship and a job which is bound to make me sad but everything is beginning to feel, well hopeless. I have spent a lifetime failing to fit in in the neurotypical world and while I'm kinda OK with that, it feels a lot like there isn't a person or a job or a place for me in the world at all.
I'm not trying to be alarmist. I was hoping some of you other late diagnosed humans might have some tips for me on how to stay connected with people and networks. How to maintain relationships, jobs, or get support and find a place for yourself in the world. I'm less expecting full on answers (I know it's a lot) and more little tips that might bring a little ray of hope to my current perspective.
Thanks Kali.
Hi I was just diagnosed today in the uk, I have level 1 ASD & scored high for adhd. I was diagnosed with aspergers as a child but nothing followed through with my mum & dad so needed a fresh diagnosis. I’m struggling to come to terms with it even though at the time I was told, I wanted to cry with relief. I’m just struggling & it’s harder when I have a 3yo child & a relationship that has unbelievable struggles & i don’t know what to do. I need help.
