Morning all

Hello, I haven't been diagnosed with Autism but it was suggested to me by my wife a couple of weeks ago. I went to the gym and googled autism and empathy, there it described 90% what I was feeling and things made a bit more sense.

I visited the GP Yesterday and discussed it with him, he told me how long the diagnosis can take and gave me an assessment test to take along with an ADHD one (that had never crossed my mind) in the meantime he told me to crack on with all the things that help me deal with the problems I have.

I found this forum last week and immediately saw a couple of posts that I could relate too, so hopefully this place might sort me out a little too.

My main drama at the moment, well has always been is communicating with others about my feelings to immediate family.

Anyway that's enough now.

  • Hi  . Welcome. Communication issues to immediate family (or closest ones) is a pilar problem for me. It wasn’t so bad before TBH. I think there is a natural tendency for every autistic trait to get worse as time passes by or as we get older. Everybody is different though so the speed of how things change varies from one person to another. I hope you get your assessment asap.
