Hey all.

Hey guys and girls. I hope it’s okay to post here - I only had the ADOS assessment today so I’ve not been diagnosed and I’m not sure yet obviously how the scoring will go. Apologies if it’s only for people who have officially been diagnosed. I have suspected I am autistic for several years but I’m only just going down the path now.

i work full time and am married. It’s taken me a long time to find a place I can cope, funnily enough which is in the care industry. My wife is very supportive and helpful, she has helped me progress very much in the past several years and my life is much more fulfilled because of her. I don’t have any outlets apart from her so I’m hoping I can spend time here without the diagnosis (but if not, please say and I’ll remove myself) and have other people to talk to and get advice from.


It’s nice to meet you guys and hopefully get to know some of you well to build some good relationships. Thanks all.

  • Welcome to the forum 

    Hope you find some support and validation being on here. I too am undiagnosed atm but had my referral accepted around 3 weeks ago so I’m on the waiting list. It’s a bit up and down this self discovery stuff but for me an assessment is what I need. 

    I also Work full time ish and I’m married with two boys one of which has just recently received his autism diagnosis.

    Nice to meet you

  • Thanks for the welcome! I hope the referral goes quickly for you. I think mine was about 11 weeks from the referral to the ADOS assessment yesterday. It’s  also interesting to see your setup in terms of work, marriage and children so thanks for including it :)
