Hi everyone,
I know I have autistic traits but haven’t yet received a formal diagnosis. I hope to meet people online who know and understand the daily difficulties and challenges of everyday life and to not feel so isolated and alone.
Hi LucyLandRover,
Thank you for the kind welcome message. Yes, I hope to get a formal diagnosis. I also have some neurological problems so hopefully I can talk to the neurologist about it at my next appointment. I should mention that it will be a very late diagnosis as I am now 50. I don’t think autism was that recognised when I was at school, I think girls are often just labelled as extremely shy!
Thank you for your messages. It really helps to know I am not alone and gives me hope.
It's never too late to be diagnosed :)
Originally my doctor thought I was just socially awkward before I was diagnosed.
