Hello! I am new here and newly diagnosed. I was just diagnosed in March last year and have learned a lot about myself through occupational therapy and speech therapy.
When I received my autism diagnosis, I did feel a bit sad that I wasn’t diagnosed when I was younger. I sometimes wonder how things might have been different with school, both during childhood and later on.
I should add that I’m based in the United States, but I feel more at home surrounded by people from the United Kingdom online. The United Kingdom is one of my special interests.
