Hi all,
So I'm currently in therapy for 'depression and anxiety'. I've not been diagnosed as having ASD (I don't know if that's the correct term) and it's all fairly new to me. I'm pretty early on in my journey.
I've never discussed my thoughts that I may have ASD with my therapist but obviously we speak a lot about past and current events I struggle with and 'coping' strategies. Today he asked if he could run something by me and asked if I knew anything about autism. Turns out he's thought about it during our sessions and picked up on a lot of traits I display. Unfortunately this was meant to be our penultimate session but he's going to discuss with his supervisor to extend them a couple of weeks.
I'm actually a bit taken aback. I feel like a weight has been lifted that someone else has actually recognised the possibility of autism. I feel a little more understand and that it's ok to be me. However, it's still just the beginning. It's still something I'm trying to figure out and I'm not quite sure where things are going to go from here.
I don't exactly know the purpose for my post. I just felt like I needed to share this with people who may understand.
