Hello, after years of knowing i am different i finally got my autism diagnosis at age 34... however it still came as a shock because people dont think i 'look or act autistic'... anyway id love to chat to anyone else newly diagnosed. My parents and husband are quite sceptical about my diagnosis and my marriage is coming to an end soon due to emotional abuse and trauma ive suffered over the years. I think a combination of masking all these years and being a trauma victim in a marriage has made me a very vulnerable person today. Im fighting through for my two children and sticking out my full time career which is my escape from home life and trauma thoughts. Work is definitely my safe place. On citalopram to battle anxiety and depression. Looking to chat to anyone and everyone really and just support each other as a community. Im in Lincolnshire so anyone who knows of any support groups in that area id love to know ;) Im very open to lots of ideas and suggestions from people, im a very direct person and im not easily offended so say what you like. Thanks everyone!
