    Glad to hear you seem to be okay @Strawberry1 😊

    It makes sense that it is still sinking in, it is a lot to take in.

    Thank you, I hope you have a peaceful day too

    Phew, the wait is over!

    I remember feeling bereft, exhausted and angry that I'd struggled for so long to make myself understood and be believed. Rest, rest and rest for as long as you need to. This is a massive achievement, Strawberry and I was sure you'd get your diagnosis confirmed!

    Autism can't be faked and no-one would choose to be autistic. We're not a little bit autistic, we are autistic and the 'levels' are not relevant at our age, ok?

    Happy Friday and lots of love from your friends here

    I've just seen your diagnosis news @Strawberry1. Lot to get your head around, but hopefully helps in the long term. Have you got support in place for navigating the new diagnosis?

    You've got this @Strawberry1. It's going to take some time, it's a journey. ADHD UK have some remote drop in sessions and groups you can join if you wanted to, and when you're ready that might help answer any questions and offer some support and understanding too.

    Thank you. Hope you have a nice day.

    Thanks for the info @Holly_Scope

    It sure is a big thing isnt it

    I will have to check that out

    Thanks very much

    Sorry @Strawberry1, I read your message but then reviewed another post about ADHD and got it stuck in my head for some reason! I was a little sleepy this morning. There's some great online support for Autism too and I'm sure some local groups closer to you if you were interested.

    No worries @Holly_Scope ,no problem at all

    Im gonna get my head around looking at the area the course was based in

    See if there are other outlets availble
