Hi,

I'm very recent diagnosis. In my 50s. Very welcoming here

hello and welcome - F, recently diagnosed in 40s

I'm an engineer - not working due to ill health - super-nerd into anything techy.    I have great difficulties dealing with 'normal' people too.

If you go to your profile, you can click on the number and edit it into whatever you like.

I was not expecting so many welcomes.

I notice you all have user names but I have a NAS number?

Will I also be allowed to chose a name to use on here?

I am not used to using forums.

I am a single man, no family or relatives as they all didn’t like me very much.

I struggle with social chit chat.

I was recently diagnosed after my gp suggested my depression and anxiety may be because I was autistic.

apparently he was right.

I am not sure what I expect to learn by being here but my gp said he had heard it helps talking with others who are also like myself.

sorry if I am not being friendly or talkative enough, I don’t know what to talk about?

but thank you all I will read some of the postings to see if they mean anything to me.

Hello and welcome! I have also recently come onto the forum having been diagnosed with Level 2 ASD. Please do feel free to ask any questions and read my profile. I'm sure that everyone on here will give their best advice.

Tell us a little bit about yourself - what brings you here?

Welcome. I’m nearly an OAP myself. 

Thank you for the quick welcome. Plastic.

I am in my late fifties.

Hi - Welcome to the forum - we're not all spring chickens here - I'm in my 50s
