My story so far

Hello everyone,

I shall keep this brief for simplicity.

Firstly, I have not been assessed or diagnosed with autism yet.

I am a male in my mid-thirties and I live in North Yorkshire. I am a volunteer worker and I enjoy reading, films and music.

From an early age, I have suffered from a range of symptoms I feel are consistent with the autism spectrum. I have raised the possibility with healthcare professionals but I have not received help for a possible assessment or diagnosis. I am more or less starting from scratch.

I am speaking with somebody soon and I intend to inquire about an assessment. Even if I am not diagnosed with autism, I would like to help others who have been (I have worked with autistic people).

Thank you for reading.

    You are very welcome here.

    we need as much help as possible and by taking part in supporting people here you can help quite a bit ( if u want )

    I think it would give you more credibility if you do actually have an assessment. It will be something  else u can help others with particularly in your area. I mean the experience of going through an assessment. It is actually good to be observed by professionals and get their feedback.......  u could be autism + ADHD or OCD  which are common mixes.

    anyways I found this helped me progress through he process. Below it are extra things to add 

    Make a list of reasons why u think u are autistic.

    include relatives in your family who are autistic or adhd or called weird/different

    and a list of occasions when u have been called weird, autistic, different

    the list should be electronic ie so you can email it to anyone who wants it.
