ABOUT
My name is Louise. I was diagnosed with autism in my late forties.
This blog is my journey from late diagnosis, how I navigate the ups and downs of life, and the strategies I use to cope.
I also write about my lifestyle, my life experiences, and raising awareness about neurodiversity.
Autism is a spectrum, and it can look different in each person. This is one way autism can present.
