Hi Guys,
My name is Alex and yesterday I was diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder. I don't know how to feel about it. My head is just continuously running through the motions. All I can think about is that I've lived with autism for 14 years and no one has known about it tell yesterday. How?!?! I've been displaying a lot of the symptoms for a while now. Being diagnosed with depression and anxiety, not being able to cope with social situtaions, having fixed interests, noticing the smaller things... the list goes on and on. How can I cope with this new chapter of my life? How can I move on knowing this now?
