Hi.
I'm not very good at introductions but I'll do my best,
My son was recently diagnosed with ASD but in the preceeding time I noticed a lot of his behaviours reminded me of mine at his age.
I'm 46 now and was diagnosed years ago with depression. Nothing I ever tried (medication, psychiatrists etc) ever helped over the long term. Eventually, my partner suggested that I also may be autistic.
I'm now waiting for a diagnosis which to some people might not be a big thing but to me seems like the biggest thing in the world. I think it would be a relief.
I'm extremely obssessive about music, it's saved me more than onc.e
That's all for now.
Cheers
