Still around- in lurk mode

I think many of us feel like outliers here  .

Maybe that's the point.

Somewhat  apart from the rest of you

What A said - we are apart together.

Good to see you posting - is there anything on your mind that you want to share?

If not, no need to reply - just glad to see you are still here.

Just thinking about the issues/difficulties/problems that got missed or were dismissed as 'character defects' . Whether that's a common autistic experience. Especially among those of us who were late diagnosed. It's been suggested by several people with ADHD that I may well have the 'inattentive' type. It would certainly explain a lot re my difficulty prioritising, when it comes to multistep  tasks. Also school reports with frequent comments about being disorganised and messy.

At 67 I don't see any point in getting assessed,in the way I would've done 20-30 years ago. It's not always easy, in fact it's very hard at times, but living with things as they are- rather than how they could/should have been - is the sensible approach to take.

No need to back out. As my daughter would say 'no problem'

I’m 53. Never had a partner or a relationship. No family. No friends other than work colleagues. No hope that will change. I really hoped to find other people in my position here.

Sorry, I’m making your thread about me so I’ll back out now. Just know that you are very far from the only person who feels like the odd one out here.
