Hello,
just a quick introduction, I am a 72 years old woman who was diagnosed on 22/8/2023 almost two weeks ago. Hopefully this will be the best decision that I have made in a very long, long time to have an ASD test.
My husband died almost eight years ago and I have struggled so much since. I have moved home five times and struggled with absolutely everything without his support and although, he and I knew that I was “autistic” life was peaceful and good when he was alive. In fact, I didn’t realise how much help and support he gave me, he was just so good at recognising the pointers.
I do not have my report and follow up yet, that should be in the next few day but I do have four sessions booked with a psychologist so, hopefully I will start to get the help needed to be able to live independently.
Best wishes to all, Yvonne
Hello Yvonne,
Good to have you here.
I'm sorry that your loss rather toppled you out of balance - but wholly understandable. I cannot begin to imagine.
It is excellent that you have moved things forward for yourself and I am pleased that you are pleased with your dx.
It is doubly excellent that you now have follow-up sessions. You are a wise one.
I hope you can stick around and join in a bit - there are worse places to be !!
Kind regards
Number.
