Autism and anxiety

Hi CaseyC, nice to meet you.  I only joined myself a few days ago and people have been so lovely and welcoming. 

I also totaly understand the anxiety! 

Have you been diagnosed long? 

Hi, thank you for understanding. I was diagnosed with autism at 12, I am now 21 

HI Casey, I was going to say that's young to be diagnosed, but thinking about it (I presume from your username you're female?) it's quite late these days for a female to be diagnosed? Hopefully autism in females is being picked up on earlier now. I hope I'm making sense, it's almost 3am and I've had 2 hours sleep! 

I was 51, I'm 52 now lol. It's good that you have a good support network. Do you have any therapy or medication for your anxiety? I tried CBT and mindfulness but it just doesn't work for me. I was seeing a therapist online but had quite a blip last week so the doctor has referred me to the community mental health team. I've never delt with them before so I don't know what they're like/offer?
