Hi Everyone,
I am 47 years old and was diagnosed with Autism just before Christmas, it was a long journey for myself, always wondering why I was a little different to the people around me, always wondering why I could not tolerate things that most people could very easily, being told I am not empathetic, the list goes on. A very close friend of mine joked around saying I should look into autism and even sent me some online quiz's to do.
I got my formal diagnosis just before Christmas and am currently struggling to really understand what this means for me and my future, I have lots and lots of reading to do, and was wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions on resources that may have helped them. I also have a son who is currently going through an ADHD assessment/diagnosis which causes us issues due to the opposing nature of these conditions, if anyone knows of any good resoiurces in this area that would be fantastic.
Thanks :-)
I was Diadnosed a couple of Years ago, and after the follow up appointment i felt a bit lost, as that was it.It felt like setting sail without a map.This site is as far as i have got.We all know how you feel i am sure.Time to get to know yourself ( again )
