Hello Everyone,
My name is Peter and im from North Wales. I was diagnosed with Autism back in March of this year thanks to the Integrated Autism Service. I have a wife and 2 sons, one of which was diagnosed with Autism 3 years ago.
Since my diagnosis I have been thinking on and off that they got it wrong that I was misdiagnosed but some days I think to myself OMG how did I not realise sooner. Some people have suggested i'm suffering from imposer syndrome. I think my main problem is the only Autism U have experience of is my sons, I know the saying once you have met one Autistic person you have met one Autistic person. But me and my son are like polar opposites hence why I feel the way I do. My traits are similar to his with regards to social situations -im rubbish at i would much rather stay at home with a book and a coffee. I hate the shops I always feel shattered when i come out from the crowds, the lights, the noise etc. Im not sure if its a trait or not but when it comes to food i have no will power at all I will eat and eat and eat (suprised im not the size of Wales).
sorry for the rather depressive introduction of myself
Hi Peter. Welcome to the forum. I actually can't read your message because the font you have chosen makes the words go all jiggly for me and so it is unreadable, sorry! Is it just me that has this?
Oh I’m sorry will try and change it
