• RE: Lorry drivers and getting diagnosed.

    I wonder, too, if it's a bit of the old 'woman in a man's world' thing.  It wasn't too many years ago that a job like you're doing was very much a 'man's' job (for some reason!)  So when a woman comes into the role -…

  • RE: Tolerance to Pain

    I also cycle competitively and have suffered various injuries whilst racing including broken ribs where I have carried on regardless

  • Feeling low and overwhelmed after diagnosis

    Hi everyone, I'm making this thread to try and vent out my feelings and I'm also interested as to whether anyone else has experienced the same difficulties. I have no idea how to communicate any of this to my parents or my one friend that knows about…

  • F*** this goddamned disease

    Aspergers.

    It has taken everything from me. My sister, cousins and other peers our living, loving, travelling, succeeding while I've been roting in my bedroom for 10-15 years going absolutely nowhere like a caged animal. I'm not the kind of person to…

  • Unheard & unseen

    Looking for a little advice I think, I don't really know. I also just need to put this out there as I feel I'm gonna burst.

    I was diagnosed autistic last year, with suspected ADD and was advised to go get that diagnosis as well (I don't think…
