Hello, Im fresh off the diagnosis. Amazed, relieved and overwhelmed. Im having help to integrate this understanding of myself. But i want to connect with others. please say hello. I have always overfelt everything, light, smells, sounds, peoples emotions and not had a clue why i am so exhausted all the time from it. And now ahh that's why.... I am autistic.
Im 48, female, I will always get overwhelmed but this is my first step into connecting with others.
Please say hello

Hello I'm pre assessment....my assessment date is in 2 weeks. I'm really late possible diagnosis too as I'm 51. I feel I already have some understanding also...I've avoided social situations like the plague the older I got. A diagnosis will finally join a few dots on the page and I'm hoping the picture will become clearer. Good to see you on here.
Coolercoats (I initially read Cooler Cats, and have a habit of picking up snippets of words, and finding some lyrics to worm around in my head, I am now singing cool for Cats. Is this just a meeting or an Auti thing?)
Good luck in two weeks. And as you say a clearer picture, I feel excited for you and thank you for reaching out it means ever such a lot.
Haha...great song but the Coolercoats relates to the village in the NE where I live. Thank you I will keep you updated re: assessment
Apologies, you are right the Tunnel of Love also mentions Cullercoats but the ride was in Whitley.
Close...that was Whitley Bay. The Tunnel of Love was a funfair ride at the Spanish City. I worked in the chippy there as a kid in school holidays. Happy days.
You probably know this already but your village was made famous in the lyrics of Tunnel of Love by Dire Straits. Another great song that I used to listen to all the time in my teens.
