I had an assessment today and recieved a diagnosis of autism. Mind blown! How have I got to age 47 without a diagnosis? It feels like I've lost 47 years . Still processing obviously but feeling shocked, overwhelmed, scared, relieved, cross, angry, sad and cheated. And completely uncertain!
Lots of research for me this weekend I know that!!
Hi, I just wanted you to know that It’s completely ok to feel these emotions and it’s ok to take your time in learning about Autism and what it means for you. You’re not alone and the community is here to support you if there’s anything we / I can do to help you on your journey to self discovery. I recommend following some good Autistic creators on TikTok and Instagram such as @Purpleella&co this helped me understand so much more, although it can get very overwhelming at times especially when Autism becomes a special interest, so please take it at your own pace and give your self time to process.
I’m Lola if there’s anything you’d like to chat about anytime or any advice I can provide 
Take Care and my very best wishes on your journey x
