Hello everyone,
Today I received an autism diagnosis. I am in my mid fifties. I had suspected that I may be autistic for many years, but never pursued a diagnosis because I didn't think that anyone would believe me. I'm not sure that I believed me.
This is just a quick hello. I hope to join in more fully in time. I need to get my head around what a diagnosis means for me and this is day one. I hope that it will help me stop trying to fit in - because, quite frankly, that's been a disaster!
A brief intro - I'm a software developer, I love cats (and most things on four legs), sci-fi, ambient music, physics, astronomy and philosophy. I am rather too fond of cheese.
I hope you're all doing well on this fine evening.
Welcome!
I had my assesment today, and pleased to have my self-diagnosis confirmed.
Oh but cheese. I do like cheese. Nearly all cheese. Any cheese. CHEESE.
Christmas cheese for me Mont d'Or with a fresh Baguette Campagne:
Evening cheese Stilton with some nice garlic crackers and some port:
My regular weakness though is a humble Le Rustique camembert, left unopened on the kitchen counter to ripen for 3 days.
I can almost smell it now. I'm off to the supermarket.
Those are some fine, fine cheeses
Congratulations, Moon! You're officially one of us!
Hi Moon! Really pleased that your assessment went well :)Also:Cambozola
