News diagnosis

NAS72749

I have just been diagnosed with ASD after 32 years and I am totally bewildered

  • Congratulations and welcome to the club - I made it into my 40s before diagnosis.so it's not uncommon.

    What made you go for a diagnosis?    How is it affecting you?

    You may find it takes a while before you can get your head around it - and there's a lot of life-processing to do.

    The good news is you're young enough to make some positive changes for your future.  Smiley

    Thanks for replying. I didn't actually go for a diagnosis, my councillor asked me what my interests were and when I told him that I was interested/obsessed with English history circa 1327-1377 he asked me if I have ever been tested for autism. Then I was tested and was diagnosed

    Mine was similar - I thought I was doing ok but a friend's wife mentioned I had all the traits - a private diagnosis followed and here we are.......

    I'm a techy-nerd - like Sheldon Cooper or Mr Data.      My wife is into history - mainly Roman, Egyptian and UK history - she;s joined the local history group to meet more friends into it.
