Diagnosed Age

SHZ 3 hours ago

Hello, I was 46 when diagnosed. Still makes me a litle bit sad typing the age however after the first year post diagnosis I am in therapy and hoping to find more neurodiverse connections and friends. One of my old school friends messaged me so we have been chatting and I have this group. I have some mental health challanges due to the trauma of not having a childhhod diagnsosis. I am glad this space is here. I dont have any ND friends in my community though and have been here 8 years.

I was diagnosed at 59. It was a relief to be honest. I had some limited regrets about not knowing I was autistic earlier, but on the whole, having a reason for how I am was hugely positive for me.

Hello there,

I was statemented at the tender age of six years old myself. I knew I was different and had troubles with certain things, but I shrugged it off and got on with it myself.

I do hope you enjoy yourself here. It's quite a nice little space in the net for people like ourselves :)

Hello and welcome here.

I’m new to this community myself ^^ but already found it a fun and useful place. Finding ND people can be challenging in person but this group is a good step in the right direction.

I was diagnosed at a very early age and remember feeling a mix of emotions but I think that’s normal after the diagnosis. There is no wrong or right way to feel.

I hope you find support and friendship in this place. Take care.
