I’m not alone and I’ve just found out.

I am 54yrs. Always known something was wrong with me. Became so poorly I started searching for what was wrong with me. Autistic burnout ticks every symptom. Female autism ticks every symptom. I could cry I’m so sad and happy. Where do I go now? What help can I get? Diagnosis through GP 2 year wait. I need help now. Can’t work, can’t function, can’t even cope to answers phone to my grown up kids. Slightest thing overloads my brain, constant stress headache, totally overloaded.
