  • Hi I'm 67 and was informed of my neuro diversity by my GP 2 years ago

     When requesting an ADHD assessment I was told on the phone by a counsellor I was ASD according to my notes

    I've had so many jobs and relationships.I struggled with appraisals etc, being told I'd been rude somehow now I read up on things I can finally understand why.   

    I'm less stressed in retirement and have a male friend who I've shared my diagnosis with but I know we will never live together which makes me sad. I had children wi th my ex husband but felt unloved always as if life has passed me by.

    I'm lucky to have adult children and grandchildren but always wanted friends. People I've been friendly with in the past include a neuro diverse woman who was alcohol dependent, and so was my best friend who died last year. I guess we gravitate towards each other.

    Life's always been a struggle I have lived in over 30 houses! My current one since 2015. Sadly I'm coping by interacting less
