Hello, I’m new

I’ve come to the forum to find identification. I believe I am on the AS but haven’t had a formal diagnosis. I’m in my sixties and autism wasn’t talked about when I was growing up. I may not post much, but if I get identification, it might jolt me from my lethargy and make me go for diagnosis.

I’m pleased to meet you all

    Hello Snowcake,

    I too am 67 and have all my life felt and am different from everyone else, a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. I've always been diagnosed with smi given anti-depressants etc but only recently been diagnosed with autism ....everything seems to clicked into place and reading your post makes a lot of sense...but what I can't get my head around is that I have lived my life a lie... your guidance is desperately needed please

    Hi NAS91753

    Thanks for the welcome. I’m a recovering alcoholic, also, and we have a serenity prayer. It’s helped me with many things in my life. I’m not religious at all, so I use the word God as an acronym; the power to Get Off Drink, which I believe we all have inside us. The prayer is:

    God grant me the serenity,

    To accept the things I cannot change,

    Courage to change the things I can,

    And the wisdom to know the difference

    My life has been a total car crash, even in sobriety. I can’t change it. All I can do is my best, every day. That’s what I try to do. I don’t know if this will help, but it’s part of my routine. I love my daily routines!
