It can take people a while to fully accept and validate their own autistic experience, especially if late recognised. I think this is common among many of us in the community. This is always why it is really important for us to find other autistic people (our neurokin) and be in a majority group.
Congrats! I’m sure its quite a relief, though its a complicated business processing it all, overcoming ‘imposter syndrome’ (with subsequent relapses possible) etc. ups and downs to it all, but a great milestone just to know. So helpful.
I knew I had autism when I was younger but didn’t get diagnosed until now so my life was difficult I feel a little bit better now I know what wrong with me
Me too! Well last thursday, have you been doing a *** ton of research and trying to find out all you can and had trouble understanding your own past and feelings
