Hello WP

Ive never been that good at introducing myself, what are you supposed to say?

Recently an occupational therapist at my youngest son's nursey told me he may be on the AS spectrum due to his social and non verbal interactions, he is going to be tested for it and a few other things in the near future. After a few minutes of reading online about AS and it's symptoms I was thinking to myself "hang on... Ive got most of these"

insomnia- check
depresion- check
obsesive interests- check
bullied- check
social ineptitude- partially (had a few jobs where I couldnt be shy, so I can act fairly NT)
etc.

Anyway after years of feeling different to everyone else and thinking to myself there's no hope, it seems there is a glimmer :)

I'm going to visit my doctor soon to talk about getting diagnosed.

pleased to meet you bun x

Hey, welcome to Wrong Planet and it's good to see another Brit on the forums :).

We are having a meet up for people on the spectrum in London on the 23rd, it's a really friendly and relaxed environment, I thought you might be interested.

Here's the thread - http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt198669.html
