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.
Hi Moon! Really pleased that your assessment went well :)Also:Cambozola
