Hi :)

Hi Everyone,

My name is Jade and i'm 24 years old and I've just had my Aspergers diagnosis a couple of months ago. I also have an ADHD diagnosis too.

I'm glad i've found a place I can talk to people who understand the struggles I face on a daily basis, it helps to know i'm not the only one. Especially when my family, patner and friends don't really understand. So it's kinda nice to read some of the posts and think "ooh i do that" or "i struggle with that too" and just to get some kind of tips/ideas really.

And i hope i can be of a little bit of help to some of you too, i hope so anyway haha :)

    Sounds like you had a similar experience as me. 

    Like you, I was first diagnosed with ADHD. The assessor said he was "pretty sure" I was also on the autism spectrum. So he referred me to one of his colleagues for an autism spectrum assessment, where I was diagnosed.

    I never consider myself to be on the autism spectrum. So it came as a suprise. But since researching the subject and reading my diagnosis report it makes more sense now. 

    I think you have to be aware of how ADHD and aspergers affects you. Then it helps to deal with the problem.

    Don't worry about the spelling mistakes.
