Hey so it says don't identify yourself. Ok so I'm Jeff (not my real name)
I finally got an ASD diagnosis after NHS said they could see me in 3 years. Paid my £1750 did lots of questions and meetings and I have been told I am autistic which I knew anyway I could tell them why I was just needed a bit of paper saying yes so I can get support.
I also wanted to get to coping strategies etc with how illogical people frustrate me amongst other stuff. Have had my symptoms masked somewhat probably by 2 decades in the military which the routine suited me perfectly.
Now I've finished and I'm out the world starts to unravel as I long for my nights alone and now living with wife and daughter. We are working out a plan though to figure things out.
I feel like there should be like conferences as a safe space to meet with others that are similar and have revelations to find out there are people who are very similar and look at the world in a similar world as I don't find them people in daily life or it's just simply quirky things that people don't discuss.
