Hello

ViridisSilviTyrannus

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to say hey, howdy and hello. Um, I too am late diagnosis (late 20s) with Autism and it's been about a week since I found out. Its really odd to have this diagnosis as I thought I only had ADHD (which I havent been formally diagnosed with and actively trying to get a diagnosis still) and a few other learning disabilities but it has kinda thrown me for a loop.

I am excited to get to learn about myself and find ways of navigating this space and also now allowing myself to take up space.

This is just a very long winded way of me say hi and I hope that I can get to chatting with some people who... Well, get it.

Thanks for reading Sparkles

  • Hello and Welcome, 

    I too have only been diagnosed this year, although I am little older than, well about 50 years older. So, I am also relatively new to this site. I find it a good place to visit, it feels safe and people are very friendly and diverse.    

    The usual advice regarding an assessment is - to take things slowly and be kind to yourself. It has me taken several months to come to terms with my diagnosis and I am still discovering new things. 

    I hope you enjoy your time here.
