Hello, from Yet Another Late Diagnosed Autistic Person

Jeff

Hello everyone,

My name is "Jeff", and I was late diagnosed in March 2024. I believe I've been experiencing 'burnout' for many years.

I'm also trying to get to grips with my identity. Questioning things that I've done or liked doing, and wondering if I really like them.

My long-term depression and anxiety might be confusing things for me, further.

Some stuff that I do, that may give you a better sense of me:

  • I listen to music: XTC.
  • I love Blake's 7 and The Prisoner.
  • I used to play a lot of board games.
  • I dabbled in astronomy.
  • I practice karate.
  • I have a season ticket for Tottenham Hotspur, but I've rarely attended games over the past couple of years.
  • I exercise regularly.

My feeling of mental exhaustion impacts all areas of my life, but doesn't appear to affect my physical energy.

I wonder if 'movement' is something that helps me.

All the best.

  • Hi Jeff, welcome to the community.  I'm late realised, not diagnosed.  I have faint chances of getting any assessment. One of your intrest is also mine- astronomy. Maybe I'm into it from a bit different angle,  but I'm reading and enjoying Neil Tyson DeGrasse (I read his books in my first language,  which is not English). I can't day I fully understand the bosons, hadrons and leptons, but its fascinating how everything got created out of a hot soup of tiny particles. And I love Jupiter and Saturn recently enjoyed watching about the Saturn's moon Titan, where the water ice is so hard like granite, but under the surface might be pockets of warm water 20*C and there are flowing rivers of .ethane and ethane and raining gasoline. Once I wrote a sci fi story about future human colony on Titan, where they used energy from the sources of the moon and created the colony under a dome. I also love Jupiter's moons Io because of its volcanic activity, when being pulled by Jupiter and also the other three Galeyan moons Europa Ganymede and Callisto. And I'm very excited to see if we find any forms of life on Europa or Enceladus and also if we manage to bring the rock samples from Mars to earth and see, if there was any ancient life on young Mars. Sorry for infodumping. 

    I hope you like this place.
