Hello,

Hiya, 

My name is Shannon. I was diagnosed with ASD very recently and I am awaiting assessment for ADHD as well. Feeling very alone in this. Lost 3 jobs, and 5 college courses due to being misunderstood so much and now I feel like I finally have an answer. Starting college again in a week :). Hopefully it goes well this year with the right support.

  • Hi Shannon - and welcome!

    I'm sorry to read of your travails, but rest assured that you won't be alone here.  You'll find many kindred spirits.  I'm glad your diagnosis has been positive for you.  I know it was for me, too.

    Good luck with your new college course.  Hopefully, they'll be more understanding and accommodating at the new place.

    See you around,

    Tom
