Introduction

Longfella

Hi,

53 years old and diagnosed with ASD and ADHD within the last month. 

It feels like the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one.

I've been having what I thought were migraines for the last 13 years, but now I think it was burnout. Not that the label matters.

The clinician that gave me my diagnosis suggested I look at NAS for information etc, so here I am. 

I imagine I'll lurk for a while as I get used to things! 

Looking forward to learning more about myself

  • Hello to you, welcome,  

    I only was diagnosed a few months ago and it meant a whole rethink of my previous life. Then quite suddenly, I found discovered that everything fitted into place and a lifetime searching for answers just disappeared. A bit like throwing all the pieces of a jigsaw into the air and them all landing as a completed picture.

     I can empathise with the headaches which used to send me to bed for days at a time. I only found out above burnouts during my assessment; I didn't realise they were running alongside my periods of burnout. 

    I hope you enjoy the site. I have found so much helpful information and the people are very friendly.

    I can commiserate with you losing days at a time to headaches. I hope you're able to manage them better now you have the full picture. 

    It's still early days but at the moment it does feel like someone has given me the piece of the puzzle I was missing
