Getting very frustrated trying to find general community to ask a question

Lubiloo.66

Just want to know if any older folks on the spectrum who have successfully masked - well you know with autistic overwhelmed dismissed as hormones - and have survived cancer - niche- have found chemo has had a lasting effect on their ability to mask. Like the real you can no longer be contained or there isn't enough brain left to mask and function?

I know this is not the right space. Was getting very frustrated and my adhd means I have to write this now or ot won't happen so here it is.

I am 59

  • If you were to ask a different question (or add to your original one) you might get some very useful input.

    Rather than asking specifically for an older person who has had the same experiences, maybe just ask for ideas as to why you might have experienced this.

    There are a lot of older and knowledgeable people here, who I suspect could be helpful to you.

    I, for example, am a 63 year old woman, diagnosed at 60, with experience of cancer treatments in those close to me eg. my late sister (not diagnosed autistic).

    I'm not very active here nowadays but just wanted to come back on to say this.

    I wish you all the best.
