Big day

Hi, I don't know whether congratulations are in order, so I will say... 

Salutations to you. I hope the closure feels comforting. 

Your head will probably whirl around and you might even ask yourself if you exaggerated on purpose to get a diagnosis. But for me this feeling settled down in 3-4 months.

I found myself grieving for the identity I didn't have in my life up to diagnosis. Joining in here is useful to give an outlet to it all. 

Hi. If anything I held back a bit or so I thought .. they picked up on so much. Things i didn’t realise I was doing. 
The only thing whirring around at the mo is will I be treated differently now. I feel more relaxed bout my past as it explains a few events in my life previous that seemed odd at the time.

Year and a half waiting for assessment/ diagnosis. People have had longer waits I know but seemed an eternity. 

I didn't realise I stimmed until it was mentioned at my diagnosis. I jiggled my leg the whole way through and touched my chin

 Another common thing is replaying it all mentally and thinking of the things you didn't say but could have.

It must be a great relief, especially if it was a long wait.
