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.

  • Welcome, Jeff. This is a great place filled with people just like you and just not like you. All interesting and from what I’ve seen helpful. I’ve found this to be a useful part of my journey. Hope you do too. 


    Coping with illogical people is a problem for many of us, myself included. Being over analytical is, I think, related. I analyse the crap out of most things and at times it can be very depressing to boil things down to the basics, like bits of paper. So you’re not alone. Stick with it. I think there are some answers here.
