Hi, My name is Ben. I am a 28 year old autistic male who lives in the north east of england. This is kinda sounding like a dating website introduction.. no I don't mean sounding... your not listening, your reading.. sorry did I mention I am autistic?
I have a unique presentation of Autism, the assessor actually
found it difficult to diagnose me, it wasn't until the face to face assessment when they officially diagnosed me. The assessor shocked me when he said that I have a feminine profile when it comes to my autism... I felt overwhelmed and relieved when i received my diagnosis... one of my main questions now was... how does a male presentation differ from a females presentation... and also.. what do I identify as.. Male or female? Should we start again....
Hi, My name is Ben and I identify as a male presentation of autism.... Now I don't know if you have guessed yet... I have Identity issues. I 100% identify as a male but I am very confused with my diagnosis.
Has anyone else found that after their diagnosis, they feel Lost? I certainly did!
