  • For me, I always thought I was Neurotypical before I actually got diagnosed with Autism myself back in June. 

    Then everything clicked into place and it made sense. I eventually realised that I am Neurodivergent.

    There was less awareness of the condition when I was a child so was not even brought up or discussed about by either the Doctor or my Parents back in the late 80's, early 90's.

    Also, I admit that I was also afraid of having the Assessment and the GP told me that I would have to wait long to have one. I was on the waiting list for over a year before having the Assessment
