    Considering formal diagnosis

    So after getting a call back from the place that takes 24 hours to get back to you, sounds like neither of the universities are really an option for me. I did a few sessions with a "generic" counselor. Didn't find it useful enough to keep going. She basically was just like you're introverted...

    Considering formal diagnosis

    So I did the thing and called the local Universities with psychology centers. One doesn't do adult autism but gave me some other resources in town. The other hasn't gotten back to me but generally has a 24 hour call return time. Monday will be the end of that window. Fingers crossed they'll come...

    Don't Be Shy To Introduce Yourself

    I might. I suspect that either I wasn't diagnosed as a child because girls "weren't" autistic in the 1990's. Or the feelings I'm having right now fall into the social skills issues associated with "dyspraxia". I hope to find the energy to make some calls to get on the list for an assessment...

    Don't Be Shy To Introduce Yourself

    Hi I’m Kat. I’m currently percolating on my next move. I grew up with some wishywashy vague “motor planning delays”, which possibly now would be classed as DCD/dyspraxia (I’m lucky to have a good number of the bits from my evaluation c. Age 5.) I’ve done alright as an adult, 6 years of steady IT...
