Hi, everyone - I've visited this forum before, years ago, but I've found my way back today. It feels more relevant to me than ever.
What is your first name? Sarah
Age:60
Location:Suffolk, UK
Hobbies and Interests:My dogs, walking, reading, nature photography, cross stitch.
Why are you here? I'm looking for help accepting myself for who (what?) I am, and to talk to people who understand me and can help me deal with the world.
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): I don't have a formal diagnosis, but I'm increasingly certain that I'm either strongly Aspie or high-functioning autistic. It explains so much about the way I feel and about things that have happened in my lifetime. I will probably never get an official diagnosis - the NHS waiting list is anything up to 3 years and I can't afford to go private.
Favorite subjects: Biology, English.
Year/Grade:
Favorite music: Pretty varied. Anything from Papa Roach to The Alan Parson's Project via Madness...
Books: Autobiographies, and stories based on fact. I've just finished Lily and the Octopus - I howled.
TV shows/Movies:Nature documentaries, and I do love a rom-com and some comedies.
Instrument: Bass guitar and am struggling with the alto sax.
Do you like sports? No.
Family: Husband and two wonderful adult children.
Clothing: Mostly leggings and T-shirts.
How did you find this website? I wanted to come back here; I searched, and here you were
Job:Retired.
Plans for the future? Waiting for my husband to retire so we can go travelling in our motorhome, work on our garden and tend our pets, chickens and bees.
Any comments? Good to be back...
