Howly parkner

Sorry for the weird title, it’s from my favourite tv show Stath Let’s Flats and I like to use the phrases from it when I can! I’m a 42 year old woman and waiting for autism and adhd assessments. Things are starting to make sense after 42 years of feeling different, being called weird and not understanding why I found many things a lot more difficult than other people,  although I’m still getting my head around lots which is why I’m here.

Quick question: did you request adjustments/support in work, study etc before diagnosis? 

Finding it difficult to tell people about waiting for assessment and potential/likely audhd diagnoses as I feel like many people are dismissive of this, especially in women and especially pre diagnosis.

Anyway, hi and sorry for such a long intro.

  • Hi and welcome to the community. I'm a woman in my sixties and I enjoy reading and playing video games. I'm not officially diagnosed, but got adjustments in my workplace by explaining that I had sensory issues. I'm retired now and glad I don't have to work any more.
