Hello, I'm new here

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed in November '21 at the age of fifty. I've a twenty-year history of being treated for anxiety and depression, and both my Sons are diagnosed with ASC. I'm currently enrolled in my local health board's post-diagnostic awareness course for people on the spectrum, but I'm not finding it particularly helpful. I will stick with it though, but so far I haven't learned anything I didn't already know. It is slightly comforting hearing from other people recently diagnosed also, but I haven't felt able to share my own experiences in the group. Maybe that will come, but I'm usually much better at communicating in writing than speaking, whether it be anxiety when talking or feeling I don't have anything interesting to contribute.

  • Hey welcome to the family!

    I was diagnosed in my teens and I found it perplexing at times. But I think it will get easier for you Slight smile

    I also find communication through writing easier as well. Speaking is hard but writing comes easy to me most of the time. 

    Hope you find it a good place to be here.
