Two months after I turned 68 I got my ASD diagnosis. I'm now watching and reading everything I can get hold of on ASD/Asperger's in females. I've certainly lived under the radar by creating personae / wearing masks and coping with the shutdowns and meltdowns through my poetry and artwork. I'm so looking forward to learning from the Community and being able to talk about any problems and anxieties I my experience as I try to face a society that is alien and threatening to me. And perhaps along the way I can offer my two-pennyworth of experience too.
Great to have you Gema. Diagnosed at 62 and so many questions throughout my life are now answered. At the moment I am going over my past with a better view of things. i have found art and crafts have helped me so much with stimming and anxiety etc
All power to you be your true self and be free.
