Introducing Myself.

Don't know what to put. 

Maybe hello?

I do not know if I have autism.  I am on a list to be assessed.

  • It is only by chance that I found out that what I have been experiencing for almost all my life were shutdowns. 

    I have also had gone through many burnouts and each one I found myself in a worse state then the one before. I would just quit my job and then just wait a few months or a year or two to recover (Without an income for most of the time as I couldn't face signing on). I never knew that they were called burnouts. I am still recovering from the one I had last september when I had taken a low hours part time summer job. Not quite recovered yet. 

  • Yeah sadly a lot of people dong get diagnosed when kids, I just thought I was always stressed, anxious and well weird with few friends... In the end I found out it was likely ASD, I still struggle but moving in the right direction. Sounds like you are too :)

  • I knew I was different. People told me! Haha! An outsider to a group. When I have had to be in a group I do my thing and let them do theirs! 

    Due to a different upbring on a smallholding, I assumed that it was due to having a different lifestyle. My Mum is very different as well! 

  • Yep because it’s typing - written communication I’m fine with, it’s when face to face with people I struggle most. 

  • You are excellent at talking on this site.
