Hey guys.
I'm a girl from New Zealand living with ASD. I'm 21 and I my interests are reading, writing, painting and cats and dogs.
After a long and gruelling process involving a mental hospital/therapeutic community I finally got diagnosed and out of the hospital! I'm glad to finally have a diagnosis, even though it isn't the outcome they were aiming for in the hospital. They wanted me to get "well" like they were aiming for with all the other patients! But autism is for life. So since they couldn't help me I got to discharge and am back at home.
