My Autism Life After Diagnosis
My Journal
My name is Louise. I was diagnosed with autism in my late forties, and two years later diagnosed with ADHD.
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 and ADHD can look different in each person. This is one way they can present.
My aim is to promote understanding of neurodiversity, share my personal experiences, and encourage inclusive education and employment.
The views expressed are my own, and are not intended to represent any employer or educational institution.

Why I Write This Blog
Music has been recognised as more than just entertainment. As Dr Tracey Marks explains in her video, music can have a beneficial effect on our mental state. Playing a musical instrument can exercise and improve our minds.
I play the piano, the recorder and the flute. I find my mood improves significantly when I play, and I find it’s calming and rewarding.
