Very late diagnosis

Nananina
over 3 years ago

Hi,  I was diagnosed in 2019 at age 67.   

I struggle on a daily basis with certain autistic traits and with physical and mental health issues. 

Lockdown has made everything worse. 

I had to withdraw from Facebook as I was overwhelmed but really miss interaction.  

I hope to find some empathy here.

Looking forward to being part of the community here.  Blush

    Big hello! I'm in my forties and still awaiting my assessment (hopefully later this year). 

    I get overwhelmed by social media too and have to take a break and I had to give up Twitter entirely. Sometimes I go through and unfollow (rather than unfriend) with lots of people or groups on Facebook because I just can't handle their stuff suddenly popping up on my news feed. I will go and check in with their profiles still, but I'll only do it when I feel I can handle it rather than get surprised by it. 

    Welcome to the forum :)
