Not just children suffer

AnneMargaret

I understand i may offend a few people with what i say but i assure you it is not intended. I just want to say it is not only children that have Autism. If they are diagnosed as a child then they appear to have much more help and support. EG specialist schools. Some people are not diagnosed until they are way into their adult life. They have had to struggle with their feelings all their life with no one knowing what's wrong and blaming them for the way they act. I wish there was more support and awareness for adults with problems too.

Sorry if i upset anyone.

  • I was 64 when I finally got a diagnosis. It explained everything, my whole life, or should that be hole life. It has improved simply by knowing who I am and knowing more about my condition. I stopped trying to not be me, and accepted myself as I am, warts and all. I am now married and the happiest I've ever been. I still have the condition but can live with it.
