I'm child-free, but creative business and neurodiversity are both things I think about a lot. RE creative business, I am still in the process of figuring out what my counseling business will look like when I qualify. This is taking longer than I thought! I am getting very caught up in how I *should* practice, as opposed to how I *want* to practice.
RE neurodiversity, my thoughts, beliefs and opinions around autism and ADHD are evolving in light of new research being published. This is a big topic which I won't go into here, but basically I don't want to write about neurodivergence forever. I'm looking at rebranding at the end of this year so I can more easily talk about other topics.
I'm having a lot of feelings about my assessments too. Ever since I took the first step and discussed it with my GP, the referral and Right to Choose has scared me and I keep thinking I don't need a diagnosis. So many emotions! How are you finding Charlie's WhatsApp group? Has it been helpful?
You were braver than me! I self-referred because the thought of trying to convince a GP had me frozen. I never really had worries up until my assessment letter came because I thought it was going to be ages until my assessment but it came a year early than expected.
I very much like Charlie's WhatsApp group. It's been very helpful, thank you. 🖤

Yes! That was my biggest challenge too. How I *should* run my business as apposed to how I need it to work for me and how I want to work.
Ooo this is exciting! It's great that you want to write about other topics. I'll look forward to reading it
My autism assessment is in just over a month. I've had a lot of feeling around it, some that have been very surprising.

Oooohh congrats Becky!! My assessment was just over a year ago and I was the same, *lots* of feelings came up for me both beforehand and afterwards.
Thank you so much, Jessica Alice. Yes, it's definitely been a lot!
That must be both relieving and stressful at the same time?
It’s is 100% both of those things! It is caused so many emotions, some that were highly unexpected.
