Hello all,
I'm PJ. I'm 38 and just now in my life getting to the understanding that I may be Autistic. I'm going through the process of being assessed via my university. It's a tough time for me right now thinking that this could be the answer to a lot of the struggles I've had in life, socially and otherwise.
I just wanted to say hello and see how this forum could help me understand myself more too.
Thank you!
I am a student yes, I have just finished my first year and it was a struggle. It wasn't the work as such, although I did struggle with concentration in busy lecture theatres and labs, but the sheer amount of people and noise was overwhelming. The uni has been great, I asked if I could be assessed and they sent me loads of things to fill in almost immediately and have put me on a waiting list for a pre assessment.
Thank you that's so kind of you
Hi PJ
It's busy website. it's hard to keep up
welcome to the tribe :D
Hi PJ. Welcome to the forum, and I hope you soon get answers that help you make even more sense of things. Are you a student then, or employed by the university? Don’t feel you have to answer that, it jist made me wonder. Either way, great that they’re helping.
Hi PJ. Good luck. This site has a lot of helpful advice and you are not the only one going through all of this. I hope you get some answers soon.
