Hi all My name is Chris. I've had a rough couple of years, and am actually talking to my GP about talking to some one now. I just saw the FB ad and thought, I like being part of communities, so I'll try this. I tried beyond blue and enjoyed encouraging other people but found no one really wanted to reply when I posted so I drifted away.....

I am seeing my GP in two weeks. I mentioned to him that I tried to get an autism diagnosis and was told I have a type B personality disorder, he was also intrigued by my self diagnosis of autism and is going to talk to some people before deciding who I need to see
