Hi All,
I am brand new to the community and this is my first post.
I had a private assessment last week and was diagnosed with asd. I was "hoping" for this outcome but now I've got the diagnosis I'm having a bit of a meltdown.
I have a full time job and a wife and live what society would consider a normal life but have always known I was a bit different and previously have had diagnosis of dyslexia, dyspraxia, anxiety and depression.
With this new diagnosis I am questioning everything that I previously thought I knew about myself and my perception of the world. The worst thing perhaps is suddenly feeling more disabled than before and feeling less able/confident than I was before.
If anyone else has had an adult diagnosis and struggled with similar thoughts and adjustment I would really appreciate hearing from you.
