Anyone undiagnosed but suspects they maybe Autistic but not sure?

NAS75657

I am in my 40’s and female, I have a diagnosis of Dyspraxia but I feel as if I have other Neurodiversity’s as well. My family think I may be Autistic.I feel as if I have definite traits and have since childhood but I don’t  quite feel as if I fit with Neurotypical or Neurodiverse.

  • It may be helpful to recognise more fundamental qualities and potentials of being autistic. Monotropism is a start, then look into Hyper-Sensory Persons and finally I’d work out if you have ongoing frustration with communication- always feeling misunderstood except by that one ADHD or dyslexic friend, for instance. 

    Autism is not Trauma, which everyone can suffer as we all can end up in Survival Mode. 

    50 years ago we may have just assumed someone more Right Brained if they didn’t exhibit added Trauma and noticeable Disabilities, but when I was in school, the system was a little more sensible affording fresh air or extra time in the library if things were too much.
