An anxious hi everyone.

Apolises about the username I think I was a drinker back when I made the account.

Got a late DX aged 41 in order to help me get support at uni, left school with zero qualications to a life I was labelled as a no hoper at. Been part assessed as a kid prior to coming to this lovely country (UK) teen assessment was poor timed and daftly timed
so I didn't engage.

In the build up to my DX I knew nothing much about me would change for me as I knew I would walk in to a room autistic af and walk out just the same. It is what it is.

What I did struggle with was in my rush to ensure assistance when I go to uni be in place I contacted my home country and got hold of my medical records from really helpful folk. I in kid memory thought I may have been already DX. I found out I'd survived two abortion attempts and had questions about my genetic parantage.

I think for me DX realisations were minimal. my crazy obsessive interests in ancient histories, religions, societies and the foundation's they establish saved me from a self conceptualisation crisis. I think I've probably been mis understoid more than understood but I forgive and move on, never had many close freinds but I've been close with the ones Ive had, never been good at not being anything other than congruent, im just frank I love people that can laugh, Ive been happy with nothing and nobody, I love the little I have.

Anyway enough waffle, hi everyone

Hello. Welcome to Wrong Planet.

Feel like someone should've said that to me years ago, thanks mate

Do you have any interesting hobbies?

A recent one ( Lockdown)has been gathering information on initially Roman but now sites from Saxon come middle age using old news papers and maps, cross referenced with known and forgotten bridle ways and lidar to find off the beaten tracks to use a metal detector on.

I did manage to find a long lost Saxon round house a potential Roman barracks and pin point the location of a romano Celtic temple.

But my base interest is ancient world beleifs focused around creation stories

Nice. Quite an interesting hobby!

welcome! anxiety is my first and usual response to any new situation. I 'get it'. Diagnosis meant so much - such a relief to finally have that key to self understanding. I did not suspect a thing for most of my life. A lot to sort out. So many people here with experience and insights to share. I love knowing that somebody actually understands, and that I am not alone. glad you are with us.

You know what, thank you so much for a lovely response. I feel at home on the forum because it comes across as very 00s but as I'm away on a mobile phone I can't do the replies

re the excavation, the Celtic romano temple.. there was a horrific excavation in 1867, with an incorrect location given on both 1897 and 1904 maps of the area. I actually found the site using an old Sussex guide book that noted a Roman wall (long gone) alone an existing by way.

It is off a 2000 year old by way that overlooks the potential Roman fort that itself over looks a Registered historical pre Saxon Riverside settlement.

I did in a cheeky kick away to find and expose the ground footstep if the church/temple just to stand on the old door step where once a bloke my age would have moaned about the state of his world

If I can get permission I will be metal detecting and youtubing finds on the suspected Roman fort, it's not registered. A brief chat with the farmer said he was pretty clueless, lidar did give strong impression of a structure on a field nearby too, historical records says nothing is in either he field. Other than Roman and Saxon cattle water holes but like I say the nearby path is off a two thousand year old by way. Sadly the farmer has already planted so I dont want to arouse suspicion lol.

I do have a new YouTube channel mainly focused on me talking about my experiences of autism.

My interests lie in ancient history, religions, ideologies and the social foundation's they spawn.

How the hell they didn't diagnose me years ago I dunno
