I've been recently diagnosed with Autism, I also have CPTSD, Anxiety and Depression so I'm feeling a little bit unsure of myself. I'm not sure how I should be feeling, how I should act or react to things. This is all rather new for me, even though I have a son with mild Autism. I'm not sure where I am on the spectrum yet but I like to do things a certain way, I like my routine and I like to know what is happening and when.
I hope I can make new friends here and if possible meet up for chats etc.
Just let it simmer there for a while. Time really helps. You don't need to tell anyone until you are ready (I still haven't in 2 months since I was diagnosed) so just wake up everyday, continue as normal,.and be patient with yourself. It gets easier and more acceptable as it goes on
You now have a tribe, we are out there, having the same challenges as you
