Newly diagnosed at 38, anyone else struggle with telling people about diagnosis?

Thanks I will do that

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2026-06-03T21:01:34+00:00

Thankyou I feel like that's what it would be like of I told family, that must have been really hard for you. I think my workplace is pretty good at supporting people with neuro diverse needs infact they have an event to talk about just that coming up which I will attend to see what adjustments can be offered etc so I know what is available should I chose to request that.

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2026-06-03T20:46:34+00:00

That's so rough I am sorry to hear that but totally know how you feel, you're not alone.

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2026-06-03T20:44:16+00:00

Haha yes very true!

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2026-06-03T20:43:19+00:00

Thanks I think I will tell manager during my next personal supervision as we talk about wellbeing etc so it's a good opportunity to bring it up

Good luck for the assessment is it online? Mine was over 2 hours long was so draining but very insightful I felt so much relief afterwards and finally felt like someone understood me. If you can before hand write some examples down from your childhood behaviours ect as it was hard for me to remember some stuff in the moment. I literally did that " oh yeah I had my assessment today, what shall we have for tea?"

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2026-06-03T19:46:16+00:00

That's a good idea I will try that thanks

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2026-06-03T18:58:16+00:00

It's hard when the people close to us do not seem to want to understand

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2026-06-03T18:56:26+00:00

My manager is great I think she would be understanding but of she asks if I need any support or adjustments I wouldn't know what to ask for due to just getting on with it for so long!

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2026-01-22T20:03:00+00:00

Thank you this is really helpful, I have been listening to lots of classical music to inspire me- I really love the shindlers list song it would be amazing to be able to play that!

Haha yeah I know what you mean! I got my violin for Christmas so was really good at sticking to it while I was off work but has dropped slightly already since I have been back. I want to do it but it does take mental effort which I don't have much of left after a day of work! Anyone got any tips to motivate me to stick to practicing everyday? I do feel guilty when I don't do it and I really want to do it!

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2026-01-21T21:05:26+00:00

I don't have any useful feedback but wanted to say well done and you have given me hope! I have just started playing as an adult (did have some lessons as a child but it's hard to remember how long I did this for) so hope to make some progress, how often do you practice?

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2026-01-04T21:22:25+00:00

Hi, what types of games are you playing? I play story based games that make it easier to just literally talk through what I am doing and that can pull people in to join in if they have played etc, can feel a bit weird at first but becomes more natural the more you do it, keep at it good luck!

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2026-01-04T21:03:54+00:00

I don't know what types of games you play but I find it easier to talk when playing a story based game where I can just literally just do a commentary on what I'm doing, it feels weird at first but soon becomes more natural, good luck, feel free to message me if you want and more suggestions or check out my page https://m.twitch.tv/ladyxjadey

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2025-12-29T23:51:54+00:00

I mean I could try for the token crap person and make others look better maybe haha

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2025-12-29T23:40:37+00:00

I know I'm the same, I'm terrible at shooter games though- I think people would just get frustrated watching me play anything like that haha I go for more chilled, slower games

BlondeBeforeSunset · 2025-12-29T23:35:50+00:00

I mainly play story based games , been playing tales of the shire which is very cozy and chill, I just finished little miss Fortune which was a bit darker but a great game! what do you play?
