Hi, I'm hollie, I'm 36 , and I think I'm on the spectrum.
All my life , I have never fit in. People always said I was "weird" and awkward. My mam tried getting help for me in my childhood and she basically was eye rolled at and dismissed. I remember wheni was 10, some psychologist would visit our house and was trying to figure out why I was, the way i am. And he couldn't help us. And I have struggled ever since. I have always been socially awkward, and make inappropriate comments. Ect. I attempted suicide when I was 19, and had my son when I was 20. I struggled so much in his first few years as he was quite a handful. Which turned out being due to his asd aspergers diagnosis. And as he needed my full attention , I struggled to find myself and anyhelp I needed. (Which I would do again as his needs always come first) I met my wife in 2012 and she has picked up on so many similarities in us. And we've tried to manage my struggles. But now I have reached a point where I can't cope . I'm always in my head, I feel like I'm going abit insane because I need to start my own diagnosis journey. My wife tells me everyday when I do something that could be down to autism.
We really think it is more on the ADHD/ Aspergers side of autism.
I really need some guidance on what to do, how to do it, what to ask for with my GP.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for reading
