Hello I am new here

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
