Hi everyone.
My name is Angela. I am 45 and have been married for 25 years with 4 children aged between 13 and 24. Just recently diagnosed myself as having autism and really struggling to come to terms with it and how it impacts my life. Although it does make sense of everything now I am finding it difficult to accept myself and see how I can live a happy and fulfilling life.
I would be extremely grateful for any advice from anyone please or just to know that there is someone else out there.
Hiya, welcome to the forum. I was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago at the age of 36. There are a lot of us here k believe diagnosed as adults - I can't offer advice on coming to terms with it but wanted to let you know you aren't alone
