I have been lurking on these pages for a while now, since I was diagnosed in May. I suspected I was autistic for a while and was on a waiting list for four years before I was finally assessed and it confirmed what I knew was true. I am still processing this and each day brings new realisations about my autistic profile and how it impacts my life. I have always found writing to be a huge way to process and release my innermost thoughts, so I am hoping this forum will be an outlet for that to further process my diagnosis.
