Thanks league girl and jimmy m, unfortunately it's just lil ol me now and to be truthful they wanted to assess me within 90 minutes. and in the 60's things weren't that advanced so if you were different you had to hide it for fear of being singled out. |

Hi guys, today after a two year wait I attended an ASD assessment meeting and am feeling a little confused and would welcome opinions or feedback. I always felt/knew I was different to others but it was only on a works training course that I was driven to find out why. It was a very basic Autism spe... |

I think it is, yes. I know loads of people who wait 2 years for the initial appointments and then it still takes a further year or so of spread out appointments, which get cancelled, rescheduled etc. It must be extremely stressful waiting. Not knowing and being at the mercy of the system. Then on t... |

This article was a good read and truly hits home. It's been a lifelong struggle for me to be able to connect to other people. That's what I love about this site, viewing autism like being from another planet, just exact way I feel when I people watch. It feels like there is a barrier between me and... |
