I have now received my diagnosis and received my report.
I am 46 and perimenopausal so it has been very complex emotionally.
It has been recommended that I am assessed now for ADHD and have been referred to Psychiatry UK which is a 6 month wait.
I wondered where to start now other than what was recommended in the report such as reading biographies from women with autism and this organisation/forum to read up on female autism.
I have a mixture of emotions and have been enjoying some volunteer work helping in a charity shop and dog walking. The social element is difficult some days, others not depending on my mood (if it is low).
I am looking for some guidance on what to do next? I am under the CMHT and meeting them again in 2 weeks.
Hiya,
im a 40 year old female. Just been diagnosed. And it’s a weird old time. Lots of emotions going on and what to do next. Im really lucky as have an autism therapist through my GP. Is it worth finding out if there’s something similar in your area?
