Hello I'm new!

Hello, new to this community Smile

I'm a woman in my late 30s, diagnosed with ASD level 2 about 4 months ago after a lifetime of wondering why everything felt to me like it was on hard mode. 

Have been in and out of burnout now for a while which is what prompted me to get help. Unmasking has been surprisingly easy around my family but I am still struggling to do this elsewhere, after a lifetime of human behaviour being a special interest. Studying and mimicking haha. It seems common in other late diagnosed women from what I've heard on podcasts and read online and in books. 

Some things I love:

• Japanese novels
• Animals (especially my dog!!)
• Circuit training at the gym
• Art (painting and drawing)
• and I'm obsessed with music (many genres) 

Thanks for having me here! Sparkles

  • Hi   and welcome to the neighbourhood. Lots of us here with all sorts of experience and interests so I hope you soon feel settled in. Adult burnout leading to diagnosis is a common progression and one I share with you. I am AuDHD, and also on the unmasking journey. My career choice (consumer research, marketing and strategy) came out of being fascinated by, and not understanding, human behaviour. I love music and animals too - I have a young terrier who keeps me busy.
