Alexandra is 38 years of age and was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at the age of 25. Below she shares a little of her journey and why she Walks for autism. 💚

“Getting a diagnosis was like having a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. After being diagnosed I started to do my own research and a lot of things about my life just started to make sense.

“I finally understood why I have problems in certain aspects of life, like social cues and how to respond to these. I still have some problems with social cues but I have learnt how to adapt.

“Just because I have an autism diagnosis doesn’t mean that I should be treated differently from anyone else. It is a part of who I am and you have to take me as I am.

“I have learnt a lot about myself since being diagnosed and I really believe that autism is a different brilliant.

“I Walk for autism to support Aspect – I love doing it, not just because of the great t-shirt but I like to get the word out there that Aspect exists and supports the autism community.”
