Recent Diagnosis at 28 - Help

NA

Hi, I recently got diagnosed with Autism and I am not coping with it as well as I thought I would. I am 28, so it’s news I didn’t realise I would be receiving this late. I presumed I would feel relief or happiness, instead I am feeling very confused and a little angry. I am just wanting to connect with other people like me as I don’t have any friends due to being not social and feeling so difficult from “normal” people.

    Wow so we are in a similar situation! I am not sure if it’s the label I’m struggling with or what. I was getting my head around the thought of maybe being autistic as my partner thought I might be. As soon as I had a diagnosis my head couldn’t cope. Sorry your feeling frustrated, why is that?
