My journey to discovery began last week, when a friend suggested I may be on the spectrum and after researching I am convinced.
Aside from some other obvious traits I often feel what others feel and often it overwhelms me. Although I am getting better over the years, it can take days to recover. I struggle to work in an office as I feel too overloaded by noises, lights, emotions, it’s like I have no filter and I am looking at people wondering what super-powers they have that they can just tune it all out..!?
I honestly feel that now I have had my eyes opened – that I am happy. I was buzzing today knowing that I may not be the only person and that there are others out there that “get me” or maybe experience some of the challenges I do. Also, I feel very lucky that I can function out there.
BIG WAVE to all
Yes, a life's journey of discovery I was diagnosed autism level 1 in November 2021 and am 50 next month
