Newly diagnosed

Hello NAS87015

I was assessed by Clinical Partners .I got my Assessment report via my Patient Portal a few weeks later. It's a PDF document that you can download 

Hi. Welcome and congratulations on the diagnosis.

You should get some recommendations in the report, but yeah we are all kinda left to find our own way there after.

I've found the good folk here pretty helpful though, hope we can help you too.

Thank you for your advice. Everyone has been so welcoming 

Hi, I feel the same way. Lots of mixed feelings really. I'm starting to try and get my head around it. Think it will help once I can read the report

If you have question, post on this forum, people are generally friendly and helpful.

Hi, I'm 35 female and was told by Clinical Partners also of my diagnosis on Thursday. Not sure when the report will land. I'm a bit overwhelmed and not sure what to do next. Hope you're OK!

Oh you should ! put that talent to use . Watching your soaps and playing an instrument, It's very therapeutic   

Yeah I agree, that's why I avoid.                                                                    I have a good ear for music, my family are quite musical and I can hear a wrong note a mile off        I can play alittle bit of lots of instruments but have never pursued a particular one.

I don't do Social Music either , Too much gossip and noise. My comments about music is what I think got me diagnosed with ASD . I explained that I hear and 'Feel' music like texture . My Father used to tell me stories of when I was a little boy dancing outside music shops . I love music and also play guitar. 

I love music too.

I don't really have any social media tho.

 Hi there 

Welcome to the forum

I enjoy reading, photography, colouring books and puzzle books. Also listening to music and BBC sound app.

My last year in the 30s

Feeling better after deleting social media accounts. 

Thank you, I hope so too everyone has been so welcoming.

My favourite books are the Rebus series by Ian Rankin and I love to watch crime dramas and documentaries as well the soaps.

What are your interests?

You are very welcome. I hope you will soon feel like you belong in this autistic community.

What is your favourite book/TV programme? I love learning everything about autistic experience, community and culture.

Hi Aaron,

Good luck for tomorrow, I hope it goes well. 

I've not heard of meet up.com but I will look onto it, thank you.

I am definitely on a journey as well, and yes it does explain alot about my life too.

Hi again. I am having my feedback report tomorrow morning. Wondering and probably most likely glad??? I hope.  I am 65. I have also been going to meet up groups both in person but also zoom online via Meetup.com. 

I wish you all the best. It has been a journey of discovery and explains so much about my life.  I wish for you all of the support you need. Often it can be communal.

Hi Desmond,

Thank you. I see we shall soon have something in common

Thank you for the lovely welcome.

I love reading and am a complete TV addict.

How about you?

Welcome home!

I'll be 44 next month.

Congratulations on your autistic discovery! Welcome to your autistic community!
