Late diagnosis

Drinty May 22nd

Hi all 😊

im new here. I got diagnosed with autism 5 years ago at 44.


im looking for support and ways to learn how to make life easier and to educate myself on better caring and coping mechanisms. Ways to learn how to be the real me and let go of past trauma and anger.


I was doing really well as I had this great therapist who got me to realise I wasn’t broken and I was doing more than most to help myself….. then suddenly I am getting reassigned to a new therapist with no explanation but we don’t know when he will be back 😞 I won’t put myself through the last 6 months again getting to know someone new as it’s going backwards. I’m going to wait for my therapist to return 😊 or go without and look to you guys for guidance.


I’ve got this 😊

@Drinty you can only privately do 1-1chats with listeners. But it's cool we can joke around on the forumd. Have you checked out the icebreakers and games forum?? They are a lot of fun

Not had much time to look around yet, it’s not so easy on my phone 😊 I’ll take time one evening to have a proper search and see if I can find this places.
