Hi
I'm Lee. I joined the NAS many years ago as both a professional working in a care environment but also I had a personal interest in autism and the way it effects people in different ways.
My nephew and niece both have duel diagnosis of autism and adhd/add and I suspected this came from my brother who only recently began to acknowledge what i've been saying to him for many years about his own behaviour being typical of autism.
When I joined this site I felt that I may be somewhere on the spectrum but never really did anything about until recently. I was officially diagnosed with HFA in May 17 aged 46.
So now my membership of this site has a bigger significance than before.
Regards
Lee
