Hi this is me

NAS93538

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.

  • Hi, Jeff. I would also really like to know how to cope with being frustrated by illogical people. GrimacingJoy It must be really hard to try to create a new routine/lifestyle after being in the military for two decades. I hope you and your wife and children can work out a harmonious lifestyle. 

    I enjoy attending Renaissance Fairs, because I've found that I share a lot of similarities with a lot of Ren Fair goers. I have trouble with interacting with the people that I meet... but I still enjoy their company.

    It's interesting if there are more people that get frustrated by examples like somebody copying what they have been told previously buy have never challenged that thing and continue to blindly follow along with bad inefficient practices. 

    Reading the book by Dr Luke Beardon and a story about the dishwasher scenario and being frustrated by the other half who just randomly slots things in there is no process to it and daily I have to rearrange thing to make it optimal and ease emptying .
