Suddenly Autistic
Hello & welcome to my channel,
Come with me as I explore my recently diagnosed autisticness age 46 and a bit.
In a more broader sense I've had a formal diagnosis of ADHD for over a year now and have known for my whole life that I see the world scientifically (I'm a chemist) and in a way that is too far from the 'norm' not to notice. Those plus other things see me journey through life in a way that is dedicated to the art of paying attention and the practice of being human.
More broadly speaking I am a mum to two lovely young adults and wife of Mr Bling, am in a long-standing love-affair with nature (especially mushrooms, hiking and bush regeneration) and enjoy working on our off-the-grid property out west. Thanks for stopping by.
