Glad to join a community where I'm with family, so to say.
Like many others who got their diagnosis later in life, it was several years of on-and-off curiosity after coming across a media piece about ASD that seemed to describe me until I finally put myself on wait lists for an adult diagnosis, and then some more time before I finally got confirmation.
Presently, I'm in social work. I enjoy how it lets me help others, and that if people are talking to me, it's because they want to talk to me (as opposed to working in sales, which I found stressful).
