Advice

I was diagnosed with asd about a year ago now it’s all I think about. I worry am I acting normal, is it loud the more I think the louder it gets coz I’m focused on it, anxiety etc where as before I didn’t think much into it I just got on with it Somehow. How do I move on accept my diagnosis and go back to being care free. My manager knows now and just think everyone thinks I’m a liar which makes me even more self conscious where as before I did what I wanted and was me. Anyway just want to know how to accept move on and be who I am. Im fine at home and feel like me

    I was diagnosed long time ago, so can't remember well how I felt apart from feeling a relief. I just accepted the diagnosis even before before being diagnosed. I think it made more accepting of not being able to please everyone, to give myself permission to be myself.

    The use of work "accept' in you post mad me think maybe you should explore your feelings about the diagnosis a bit more, to process and go through various stages of acceptance. Check out the 4 (v)blogs on this page https://ndsa.uk/content/just-diagnosed-now-what/
