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   

    Welcome to the National autistic community, I hope that you might  find this space to be useful.

    There is no wrong or right way to say hello, it's lovely to hear from you - I can guarantee, you are not taking up space, every voice is incredibly valid to hear from.

    As you say, learning something new about yourself later in life can be quite the journey, it introduces new information to what we thought was known.

    I wonder if the the following NAS approved resources might prove useful in helping to understand your autism diagnosis:

    After diagnosis

    What is autism?

    Once again, welcome to the NAS community - I hope you feel very welcome here.

    Take care - Zac Mod.
