Having found out recently, my main feeling has been one of relief as it explains the difficulties and issues I have had in my life. It also explains how I deal with people and gives me some idea of how to cope in future situations with strangers etc. For me, my immediate family and friends have been very supportive and we are exploring this knowledge together. However sometimes it hits me an leaves me reeling a bit (holy crap - I am Autistic! type thing)
NB. I don’t have a formal diagnosis but it would be assured if I could get one through the NHS.
