Newbie …super scared but figured I'd press send & see what happens. Hello x

Mads

My names Joey. Mads is my cat. 

I was diagnosed with ASD last month aged 40 (after 20+yrs of diagnosis & misdiagnosis). 

I love rescue animals, komodo dragons, needle felting, houseplants, skate trainers, photography, cycling, inline skating, reading private eye & listening to LBC.

Scared to do this but hopeful to chat to people who get it and can help a little.

Thank you. 

Joey (and Mads) Feet

  • Good morning from America, Joey (/Mads)!

    Congratulations on your diagnosis! Sounds like you have a wide array of interests, that’s awesome! If you have any questions, feel free to ask the community!

  • Hello and welcome to the 'Latelings' club.

    I was diagnosed almost 3 years ago in my early fifties. It has taken me a long time to fully digest what it means for me. Still do not know if ever will.

    Feel free to ask questions or browse previous topics for subject matter of interest to you.

    It is a friendly community but there is no pressure to be continually posting. I tend to browse on a daily basis on weekdays. Weekends are my decompression days.

  • Hi Joey/Mads, welcome to the community!

    You have a lot of very cool interest, like komodo dragons (they are so crazy aren't they, gigantic deadly and venemous). I listen to some LBC, though currently it's mostly just mystery hour with James O'Brien on a Thursday lunchtime!
