    Might be worth pursuing a diagnosis if you have questions that need answered. Is this forum friendly and relevant to your needs?

    It wasn't easy, had to wait 3 years. After my trans son was diagnosed my doctor was great in supporting me. I'm looking to make other Neurodivergent friends.

    If it does, you're right to chat about it with your doctor 👍🏻

    Hey there @Keemanaan (loving the name) and welcome to the community!

    There's a fair few of us ASD folks here, so you're in good company if you just want to chat and get to know others.  I myself got my official ASD diagnosis last year on my 44th birthday.  It's been quite the voyage of discovery since then. 

    I recommend checking out the Coffee Lounge, it's nice and relaxed and a great way of getting to know everyone. :)

    It's very easy to access, click categories at the top, then select coffee lounge. :)
     Unfortunately we've been having a few hiccups with the site today, but if the link still doesn't work, you can try this one.

    I'm on the same voyage of discovery, 51 it's very hard to cope with working stuff out. Thankfully I have an awesome counsellor. I'm also waiting for an ADHD assessment! How have you found dealing with your late diagnosis, do you find it hard?
