Just saying hi!
I am new and looking forward to have some nice discussions with all of you.
I'm not diagnosed and not planning to - I think I'm functioning too well to be entitled for the state sponsored investigation (living in Sweden), and I don't even know if I'd really be autistic, but does it matter? I'm just looking forward to talk about things I can relate to. Been suspecting I might be somewhere on the spectrum for reasons like anxiety issues, having hard time to handle lights, sounds and crowds, having to run out of a shopping mall in panic; been always the weird one, not getting the jokes, receiving complains at work that I interrupt people and have a weird voice/pitch when presenting, stuff like that :) At the same time I do enjoy dinner parties and some social events, so who knows.
The best thing for me is being alone in the mountains - which is pretty hard now that I have a family, a small kid and a growing belly :)
We can self diagnose here,,, usually for employment reasons.
get up the mountains and take your kid with you and 2 mobile phones
post the pictures of your views when on the mountain ( not of u or kid )
I consider myself to also have ADHD on top of my professional autism diagnosis
but I dont see any benefit in tying up valuable resources getting me another label to imprison myself with
Oh Welcome to this forum for Adults with Autism and non-autistic carers/parents/partners
You are most welcome to stay and chat with fellow "self diagnosed" and diagnosed and non-autistic.
it would be nice to have a Swede in here
