I have just been reading Women and Girls on the autistic spectrum ( Hendrickx) and now looking after you autistic self (Garvey) after having a suspicion for several years that I might be autistic . It seems like the chapters in the Hendrickx book about childhood/ teenage years and adulthood have written about me. It’s like a tickbox exercise, there’s so many things in there that are what I have done and still do. The second book I have got to chapter three and I have found stories of indecision in supermarkets and and being overwhelmed by restaurant menus ( that’s me) . It’s like a big lightbulb moment on my whole life, I’m in my 60s . I don’t want to talk myself into being autistic, but there are so many things in these books that are just me it can’t be all coincidental
Hi! Nice to have you here, I’m new too! Blip
