New here (self) diagnosed this Autumn, 26 non-binary, UK

Hello NAS community, 

Recently discovered I am autistic at 26, tentatively self advocating for accommodations and awareness in my personal and work life.  

I am excited to hear from people in the autism community about their lives.

  • Hello   and welcome  to the community. 

    I hope you enjoy being here and that you find it useful. I’m a late diagnosed woman in my 60s and I think my working life would have been much easier if there had been more awareness when I started out. From what other people in this community have said about about self advocacy and accommodations at work, the process isn’t always straightforward so I think  talks a lot of sense.
