  • Hi spectacledbear,

    I too am in my late fifties, sixty next year; I am married with two adult daughters.  I too have suffered from depression since puberty and high anxiety levels since I was a toddler, possibly earlier still.

    I too have had anger issues all my life but kept more in check nowadays with help from various medications prescribed for other anxiety associated issues.

    I am undiagnosed with autism spectrum disorder as I know from regular contact with our surgery that they would be unwilling to fund this type of request. However I have been researching intensively for the last couple of years and am fairly convinced that I am on the spectrum. It has been a bitter pill to swallow but unsurprising as it explains all the issues I have had in the past and still have!
