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

  • Hello  Welcome to the community.

    Congratulations on your diagnosis! I was late diagnosed just over a year ago, and I was misdiagnosed years before that. 

    You have lots of interests and I know that there are others here who share them. I like many animals but I have only two dogs.

    Thank you its actually cool to be here. Most people I've told in the last month (outside my family) have told me:

    They are sorry
    They wont see me any differently
    Now you can get on with your life

    ...my favourite.....congratulations ?!

    I used to have 2 rescue dogs but not at once, two at once is great that must be busy at times.

    Chat soon Joey.
