I love the name wrong planet, it feels so true! I have a diary entry from when I was teenager of me looking back on my childhood, I remember sitting on a step at the back of a classroom watching the other kids play and wondering what the secret was that they all knew and I didn't. The only time I feel lonely is in a crowded room.

Hi, I am Kiana, I am 37 years old (I just had to work that out!) I am a female with Aspergers living in the UK, who has been intermittently staring at this page for several days trying to find the courage to post.

I have 2 Aspie boys, one diagnosed who is now 15 and one age 6 who is waiting for CAMHS to "work their way through the backlog" My boys are very different my eldest had academic and speech delay, my youngest has hyperlexia and savant skills in maths and music. I also have an NS daughter age 16, in our house her normalness stands out a mile...

In the UK the support and understanding for adult females on the spectrum is almost non-existent, but it's ok, for the most part I'm happy in my own little bubble

Welcome to WrongPlanet, Kiana!

I was with CAMHS a bit, mixed views on them to be honest, though half the time I wasn't in my right mind!
Hope you enjoy your stay here

Thank you for the welcomes

I'm not rating CAMHS very highly just now as today they put the date for his initial meeting back for the 4th time, when he went on their list he was 5, when he is seen he will be 7

I wish I knew another route to get a diagnosis, but I don't! I paid a private Ed Psych thinking he could diagnose but it turned out he couldn't, the best he was able to do was put my lad from school action to school action plus

I don't have such a good memory of how long the diagnosis took or who did it or whatever, Kiana, but I do know that my parents suspected it when I was 10 and I was diagnosed at 13!
