Good afternoon, I am an older lady, recently diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. My name is April. I did not know of Autism until my granddaughter was diagnosed last year, though I confess I never imagined I would also be diagnosed with the same. Looking back, the signs were always there, but, Autism was not a known condition in those times. I do still feel I am much too old but as my granddaughter tells me, one is never too old for adventure. She, as do I, sees most things, even her Autism as an adventure.
So, here I am, at the start of my adventure.
It is a pleasure to be here with you.
Welcome.
I'm a 60 year old woman diagnosed a few months ago.
It's good to see such a positive response to your diagnosis.
I hope you enjoy the adventure
ps. You bear an uncanny resemblance to Marilyn Monroe.
Hello, Debbie, a pleasure.
And thank you. It has taken a little time to fully understand everything but I am getting there, slowly but surely.
I must confess my great-granddaughter performed that magic. When she suggested a photo I knew I had to use one of dear Marilyn.
