Hi - Recently diagnosed and wanting to chat with others with ASD.

Hi,

I was diagnosed with ASD (Asperger's) in January this year and am struggling to process what this means and how it has impacted my life to date. Having masked until the ripe old age of 32, I feel that there is so much my neurotypical friends and family don't understand. I would love to chat about life with ASD, aspirations and self-esteem amongst other things.

I look forward to getting to know you... and so does my dog (and special interest) Princess.

    Hi Anthony,

    Thanks for your lovely message. I hope your days been ok.

    I definitely don't think I'll let Princess near the keyboard - she's an English Bull Terrier, so not petit and delicate!!!

    How do you find living with autism? I feel that in some ways it gives me a logic and attention to detail that others cant obtain, but at the same time I get so frustrated by the anxiety and inability to understand and cope with complicated social relationships and to be able to hold down a full time job.

    What do you enjoy doing in your spare time and dare I say it, but do you have a special interest?

    Take care and enjoy the sunshine (from home of course).
