Hi

I am Jo, Inwas diagnosed with Autism 2 weeks ago, I always knew I was different and never felt like I belonged, but I didn’t suspect Autism. My daughter is 11 and I have known since she was little that she was autistic, we both went down the right to choose so her assessment shouldn’t be long. I seem to be struggling more now with household tasks. I used to work and was a support worker to adults with learning disabilities and Autism for 9 years. I had no idea I was Autistic myself though, I struggle with people and feel scared in social situations.

  • Hi Jo, welcome to the community! I wish you find here like minded people. There are quite many stories of people who work as teachers or support workers, work with autistic people and they themselves find out suddenly,  that they are also autistic. Did you have any 'light bulb' moments?
