Hi from Suffolk

First time of posting, so hello

I am a 46 mother of 2 , both on the spectrum and diagnosed in their teens.

I was diagnosed with Asperger's 4 yrs tomorrow and while my diagnosis has made alot of sense re who I am, my decision not to mask as much brings it's own difficulties. Especially as I've realised I masked alot more than I realised.

I have found in my area the support for adults diagnosed is not that great and tend to be in the daytime which doesn't help those of us who work.

Not sure what joining this is going to be like and thought I have nothing to lose by giving it a go. 

Thanks

    Hi NAS15377,

    Hello and welcome to the community! Glad to have you with us. You mention lacking support in your area - perhaps you have tried this already, but there is a directory of various support services from across the country available here on the NAS site - https://www.autism.org.uk/directory.aspx - perhaps you'll be able to find something there in your area at a time that suits you better.

    Best wishes,
