Hi all, as mentioned in the long ASD women thread we will try a daily new thread to help avoid people and ideas getting lost.
Welcome all women with ASD self diagnosis or diagnosed is OK!
Hello everyone, I'm really glad I found this thread! Im a self diagnosed aspie girl wondering whether to get a formal diagnosis... Anyone on here in their twenties?
Yes! I'm 29 here. Waiting to hear how things might go with the NHS...
Yes, mid-twenties, hi!
In 20's in spirit, but nearer double early 20's
Hello.
I wasn't diagnosed until I was 32 (a couple of years ago) after many years of wrong mental health diagnoses. I was surprised at first but quickly very relieved that there was a name for my traits and, what's more, that I wasn't the only one. Everything just felt like it suddenly fitted.
Personally, I am happier and more settled knowing how to deal with myself now since the diagnosis. Life is getting easier...
I also feel I have some protection in terms of legal rights e.g. Accessing (the very, very limited in my area) support and protection in jobs (should I get well enough to work) etc.
But this is just my experience.
Good luck.
Jam.
