Hi!

Hi, I am 34 years old and have just been referred for an assessment. I'm feeling really blindsided by this, as up until a few weeks ago I had no idea I could be autistic. My daughter has recently been referred for adhd and while I was reading up on adhd and autism symptoms in women and girls, I realised that it could be describing me. I went to my doctor, mostly about my skin picking disorder (which I always just wrote off as anxiety) and she said that it's likely to be stimming and agreed that a referral is a good idea. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and if anyone has any advice on the pre diagnosis stage, that would be incredible
