New Here, Female, 48 and Not Diagnosed

forget_me_not48

Hi Everyone Wave tone2

so yes I’ve probably known for ages I’m autistic and after the staff conference where literally all the noise, smells, chaos, ridiculously bright lights, abstract tasks and small talk almost wiped me out I decided to go for a diagnosis. I’m in the UK and probs need to wait another 12 months Shrug tone2‍female sign️


it’s been liberating in some ways and I can now stop trying to find answers as to why I have chronic anxiety…seems I can now start looking after myself. Lots of fab advice on here and it’s nice to read relatable topics.

never written on a forum before but I’m sure I’ll get used to it. I never do anything like this, generally keep myself to myself but I’m hoping I can read and share some of my experiences as I do like to info dump and help when I find a topic I know about. Thanks for reading and hoping to share info and experiences with everyone. 

Bye for now Wave tone2

  • I found that figuring this stuff out later in life can feel like trying to tune a radio with lots of static, but it does settle little by little. While you wait for the diagnosis queue to crawl forward, it helped me to jot down what sets me off and what calms me so I had something solid to lean on. Talking with people who get it made me feel less lost in my own head.
