Hello and welcome to the forum! How was your journey to diagnosis, how long have you known that you are on the Autism Spectrum?

My parents have always known there was something wrong. Something was only done when I was sectioned in January and psychologist noticed something wasn't right. Went from there,  but was finally diagnosed Tuesday, getting so much support :)

I know that feeling of always knowing there was something wrong’ as I had that feeling about myself up until realising that I am Autistic. It’s a shame that it took being sectioned to get a diagnosis, but at least now you know. Are you getting a lot of support with it?

Hello Jaydet,

I hope you don't mind me asking. Why were you sectioned? If you don't want to say, that's absolutely fine. I'm just curious.
