Hi everyone

I just realised I've posted on a couple of topics but I haven't introduced myself properly.

I'm Paul (m, 49, neuroqueer). I'm currently self-diagnosed AuDHD and trying to get through the GP barricade towards formal diagnosis. They're not making it easy at all. I've also done a lot of reading, talking and listening about autism, adhd and other diagnoses, mainly to try to make sense of the last almost 50 years of my life.

I'm a personal trainer, strength coach and mental health and exercise coach (MHEC) and have been doing this for 9 years in May. I'm currently in and out of burnout due to the overwhelming nature of the job and have had to scale things back a lot in the last year just to preserve my energy.

In my spare time I enjoy playing online games, reading, getting out in the Peak District and using meditation and mindfulness to relax. I'm also interested in paganism and feminism.

Look forward to saying hi on the boards.

  • Hi Paul and everyone else!

    My name is Sintija, I'm 37 years old.

    I'm very new here!

    I'm an adult recently diagnosed with autism (level 2) and ADHD (combined type) after years of not having answers. I'm still adjusting to what these diagnoses mean for me, but it's already helped me understand myself better.

    I am currently unemployed but I enjoy painting, reading, and meditating — they help me find calm. I’m also trying to connect with others as I find myself very isolated and now I understand why I've been feeling this way.

    Looking forward to being part of the community :)

  • Welcome to the community Sintija. What do you read?

  • Hey! Thank you :) At the moment I'm reading books about meditation and spirituality. :) It helps me relax, if I manage to meditate...
