Hello all,
I was recently diagnosed with Autism at the age of 51.
I had suspected I was autistic for quite a few years after various discussions with some of my family members.
The therapist told me I would have been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome if that terminology was still in use.
Fortunately I have always been able to function reasonably well and I think I have probably learned to do a lot of masking over my life, so many people I come into contact wouldn't even realise I am autistic at all.
I am just getting used to it for now so I thought I would join up here into this community.
cheers everyone.

Hi - I would love to do that, but oddly I cannot find the screen to enter that information.
Where do I find that?
On the main webiste I can see "community setting" - it then tells me to click on the button to got to the community area to set up my settings, but when I click it, nothing happens.
If I click the notifications icon top right, I can go into "settings", but there is nothing there about hobbies?
I have a feeling that I might have set up a community account here a long time ago but not joined the main site, but now I have joined the main site and maybe there is an issue with the setup of my account on the community side? When I joined the site this morning, my user handle "Javert" appeared there even though I was never asked to type it in, so somehow I must have previously set something up a long time ago?
Hi scratch that - I found it now - I didn't realise I had to click on my username at the root of the folder to find the profile icon.
