Who finds their way to me
You might recognise yourself in one of these.
Your life works, broadly, but at a high cost. You’ve succeeded by working harder than others, then privately recovering. The strain is starting to show.
You are anxious you might have spent a lifetime masking. Someone close has raised the possibility, but you’ve been told you “don’t look autistic.”
You’ve gathered multiple mental health labels, or maybe ADHD, but something isn’t adding up.
Your psychiatrist or therapist suspects autism. Together you want your care to reflect who you really are.
A complex physical picture: hypermobility, EDS, PoTS, ME/CFS, chronic pain. You’ve seen many specialists but need to join the dots.
An earlier assessment didn’t feel like you. You’d like to be considered for a second opinion.
You were diagnosed as a child, and the conversation stopped there. You’d like to understand more.
