I was recently diagnosed with autism (age 39). I also have schizoaffective disorder, was diagnosed with that in my late twenties.
My experience is that I feel very weary, lacking in enthusiasm. I think this has more to do with the schizoaffective. I have self-esteem problems too, in the sense of trying to find value in myself and meaning in my life.
I struggle with isolation, trying to find social outlets and make friends. I've started going to a place in Edinburgh (called No. 6) since I was diagnosed. I haven't worked for years, I just don't have the energy.
My interests include philosophy, psychology, spirituality and politics.
I would be interested to hear from anyone who can relate to my story, especially those who have both autism and schizoaffective.
