    Yes - I did mention what the effects were, abc-xyz etc. I almost got it, probably if I appealed I would have, by the sound of it. If I decide to apply for it again, I will look into getting some help with it.

    I just read that DWP are reviewing pip claims from 2016 onwards on chronicle live it might be worth looking into that

    Helllooo there!

    Well, things have been verrry busy here. The medication trials of baclofen and clonazepam didnt work out, and it turns out that I don't have either dystonia or HSP. Sooo, the feeling is...it could be cerebral palsy resulting from my difficult birth, which would make sense given that thats where they think the autism comes from. Ive got a whole bunch of referrals coming up too - speech and language and ENT for my throat, physio, possibly back to orthopaedics for my shoulder and perhaps an operation on my foot, and of course back to see my neuro in June.

    As far as the depression goes, it seems to have lifted a bit honestly and Ive been able to cut down my meds (at least for the moment). I think the diagnosis of autism has helped immensely - I know what the context is for the depression now, and that is useful. Also, I think being stuck on having a career in what I studied at MSc level (computer science) was getting me down and making me continually stressed, in part because it wasnt working but equally because its not what I really want.

    So! Good things, mostly! I apologise for not being around, but my headspace has been taken up with a lot of things here. Hopefully I will be able to be around more, and I hope that everyone is doing well.

    Love and light, everyone.

    I can relate to how an autism diagnosis can totally change how you see your depression and I found the things I was especially hard on myself for were things that actually I couldn't change because it was linked to autism and accepting there was a reason for me being the way I was helped me a lot. Adult diagnosis isn't easy but it's certainly an interesting journey lol

    Hi, good to see you! I’m so glad you seem to finally be getting one answers, too
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
