Autistic Women?

I got my diagnosis through the health system

Very distressing for me, wish I had just self diagnosed now

I hope you'll find all the support you need here

Yes, for me it was a protracted process with long waits in between each appointment.  It also felt like handing my very self over to non autistic "experts" and I too, looking back, wish I'd self diagnosed.

I think there's more support and knowledge within (largely) autistic communities like this one than anywhere else - the others are outsiders and not in our club.  :)
