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.

  • I had no clue until recently - despite having several close relatives with autism, it just didn't occur. I wasn't focused on it, so it didn't exist, more or less. That's the way it is with me. Still, once I had the idea it makes perfect sense, everything has fallen into place. 

    I have been referred and am waiting for assessment, I have no doubt at all that I am autistic. I am female and in my 50s. 

    If you think you may be autistic it might be worth being assessed - of course this is personal choice, not everyone feels the need for a clinical diagnosis,

    I am seriously considering it. My Son is diagnosed, my Cousins Son and my Dad thinks he probably is Autistic and he’s in his 70’s.
