Hello from a just diagnosed newbie

Hi,

Just wanted to introduce myself and say how helpful this site has been so far.

My life has been full of illness and I was lucky enough to  find an amazing functional doctor who diagnosed me with Lyme and Marcons amongst other things. She referred me for EMDR but after talking with the therapist she suggested I have an ADHD and Autism assessment.

I'm waiting on the ADHD assessment outcome but I got diagosed with Autism on Thursday and to say my head is spinning would be a bit of an understatement.

After 52 years of struggling but not knowing what was going on I finally feel like I'm on the right track. And that's a very strange but exciting feeling indeed!

I do have lots of questions so I'll make a post in the appropriate place.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all :)

    Welcome!  I have found this site very helpful as well.  I'm happy you were able to get some answers with the diagnosis too.  

    BTW, have you heard of the musician Ren Gill?  His music really speaks to me, so I'm wondering if he's on the spectrum.  But more personal to you, he also has Lyme disease, and it makes it into his music a lot.  Here's a song where he shares about living with Lyme disease and mental health issues: https://youtu.be/3Q6uCrpzbPY
