Introduction

Hi, I'm Simon and two weeks ago I was diagnosed with autism at the age of 47. I'm still processing it and trying to figure out how to tell friends, family, work colleagues etc. However I have found the diagnosis helpful to understand why I've never felt like I fit in, why I struggle with certain things and it not just being a case of 'trying harder'.

  • It's such a relief to realise you're just wired differently and it's a case of doing things the way you're wired, rather than trying to do things the way someone else is wired. 

    Many of us are recently diagnosed and struggling with the 'how do I do this?" bit about telling other people. You're in teh right place to explore that.
