    So I find myself in yet another chapter of my life, at 64 I find myself facing a otisum diagnosis and I am seeking that spatial connection in my life that has always been lacking and hence my reason for being on this site, so ware should I begin?, I suppose I knew I was different all along during my school days as I look back across the oceans of time.

    At 15 I was finally diagnosed as dxlexic by the world number 1 authority on the subject in that day, Professor T.R Miles of Bangor university, North Wales, ware my parents (know both dead) took me for assessment, I was 15, the fee for the assessment was just £10 and my father gladly handed him a £10 note, a very nominal amount even then(about £75 in todays money)a private diagnosis is now more then £1000.

    I still left school with no qualifications, went to work for a friend of my father in a factory who was a magistrate (my father was the justices Clark)

    To cut a long story short I ended up with an unclassified degree in 1996 in electronics, my degree is not worth the paper it is written on, all my own family on the other side, the message via a medium from my late mum is basically to ‘keep moving forward ‘and I suppose my journey in autism is part of that journey.

    I found myself under medical supervision after my mum passed in my arms January last, my twin already gone, I decided to push for an autism assessment and get something out of my situation, I was in bad health, suffering depression, ptsd, hypertension, exhaustion and grief after caring for my mum at home for 4 years with dementia including her end of life care.

    Completed my autism assessment yesterday,(20th/Oct/2024) my sis in law is convinced I AM autistic, she is a school teacher of considerable experience, so I await the verdict, and like all people in my situation, I find building relationships to be very difficult, that, is a common trate of autisum.
