Hello and Thanks For Having Me

Galaxy42

Hello everyone, I'm Stu.

I received my official diagnosis for autism just before Xmas, but it's been expected for quite some time. I have also been advised to be assesed for ADHD & OCD too.

I'm a 50 year old male who probably should have seen the signs 40 years ago.

Over the years I have been diagnosed with several things. Depression, Anxiety, Fibromyalgia amongst others.

Looking back, it seems so obvious and how others didn't spot the clues along the way is beyond belief.

I'm glad to to finally have an answer, but now feel compelled to find out everything I possibly can and any help, advice or direction would be greatfully accepted.

  • Hi Stu, welcome to the community! Congratulations on your diagnosis and I hope you find this forum helpful. My best advice is to give yourself plenty of time to understand your diagnosis, as you will go through a mix of emotions and feelings, especially as a late diagnosis. Relating and learning from others can be very helpful too. And just be kind to yourself as you learn more about yourself and how your brain works. 
    Hope to see more posts from you soon Slight smile
