I will be doing a Lake district 5 peak challenge in May to raise funds for the National Autism Society. I am currently being screened for Asperger's Syndrome. I am 28 years old and have struggled through life thinking I'm different and weird. As I have got older I have found out why noticed more how it effects me. To this day I don't have friends and struggle socially. I wish to raise funds to improve the screening services and maybe develop a way to identify autism faster and more accurately at a younger age so people like me don't have to go through life not understanding why they feel different or feeling incompatible with life. I understand a lot of children are screened for autism but a lot are misdiagnosed due to lack of understanding of the autism spectrum. Please donate to help develop a better understanding of autism.
