Hi,
I'm new here! I'm a 36 year old with a long long history of psychiatric issues. However recently my consultant said she believes I am Autistic with co morbidities.
I'm now starting the long journey to assessment and diagnosis.
I would love to meet other Autistic adults.
Hi HodgePodge,
Welcome to the forum!
I'm also 36 with psychiatric issues and realized i was autistic in December.
But anyway nice to have you with us 
I should add that in my opinion my psychiatric issues (depression, anxiety and schizophrenia) all stem from being autistic and trying (but failing) to find my way in a predominantly non-autistic world. Still so relieved that i found out i'm an autist at 35 because so many people never do. This community has been invaluable. Hope it helps you too
