newbie aspergirl and ADD

KeanoLulu

Hello,

I'm new to the site and autism. I've recently been diagnosed with aspergers and ADD.

I'm female, 41 and a PhD researcher.

I think I'm kind of ok about it all - it makes a lot of sense, and I've starting 'coming out' to peeps. This is quite weird.

Definitely got a feeling that I'm on a voyage of discovery...

Special interests include my research, my motorbike and my dog....and the apocalypse.  (in an atheist way)

best wishes to everyone,
Lulu

  • I know the feeling that you have to work twice as hard etc... I quite often see people as animals and in my supervisor meetings I am definitely a swan....looking calm and thoughtful (hopefully) but underneath paddling like mad.

    The thing is you're probably a really bad judge at just how bloody good the stuff is that you produce.  People don't generally offer positive comments unless you ask for comments (which I don't because I think I'll get criticism) so it could very well be that peeps think you do amazing stuff, they just don't say it.

    I've just applied for DSA too and hoping for an assessment of needs in the next couple of weeks.
