Hello

[Xinim]

Very new to this journey. Wish I had found out sooner, my kid would have been better supported. We are on this journey together and she is living 4 hours away at college as a Freshman. My husband thinks he is the 'normal one' in our family. So funny because his obvious OCD and other issues kept me from looking at myself. Once I looked -I was shocked and so many things started to fall into place. This realization happened this past summer just as we were packing our daughter up for college. She has been in therapy for her anxiety for awhile this round. We had tried therapy for her when she was 6 or 7 but it didn't get anywhere quick enough and my husband was very uncomfortable with the added costs. My ADD brain was happy to dump it as well. And we had other family obligations with health that we on our shoulders at the time. Actively seeking people that I can relate to who get me. Trying to find resources for my daughter who is still skeptical. Her therapist is still appraising her... we will see how this college thing goes... Anyway hello all.

Welcome. Interesting how things fall into place after recognizing ASD. Though, mine came at age 60, when long buried social trauma was catching up with me. Only recently have I worked past that and am feeling balanced, living in the present.
