Hi all

I'm 45, a mom, i have a job working with autistic children in a school, I'm doing a course on autism.

I'm not diagnosed officially but I tick all the boxes. I went to the doctors last week to start the process to see if I can get diagnosed. I'm a bit scared, a bit nervous, but I feel I need to find out for me, and maybe it'll explain why I'm always the square peg trying to fit a round hole. 

I've suffered with depression and all the rest, anxiety and stuff, and i struggle making friends. my current closest friend has autistic kids, so i'm spotting a pattern here.

I'm not sure what else to say. I write a lot, I read a lot, I draw. Learning to draw faces at the moment - they are HARD :)

So that's me, hello to everyone :)
