Hey all, hope this is okay to post.
I’ve recently started to realise I may have autism - I originally thought it was ADHD but when I started looking at the crossover I realise that autism might be playing a role too!
I was just wondering what were the signs that originally made you realise you have/might have autism? Especially if you were diagnosed as an adult rather than as a child.
And a follow on question - looking back what did you do as a child that was likely due to autism? I want to get tested but seeing other peoples experiences I’m worried about the process - my memory is so rubbish I’m worried they’ll think I’m just wasting their time.
Thanks in advance!
Knew i was different all along. Diagnosed at 18. Social security ever since. Now 39 and approaching my very wits end. Bloody covid hasn't helped.
I echo the Covid sentiment. Other than my wife I have no family...not being able to see the few close friends I have had been torturous. They are my family and support.
18 months without the time I spend with them has been a major factor in my MH decline.
