Today I have received my diagnosis of ASD. I feel a sense of relief and a tinge of sadness of my history and all the times I’ve beaten myself up unnecessarily, lost relationships and difficult experiences. But I’m comfortable almost pleased.
However, my partner has struggled with the concept since it first arose earlier in the year as he sees no “problem” with me and by his own admission doesn’t understand or know how he should respond ?
I’m 52 and I suppose to some extent it’s odd to have a diagnosis at this stage in life.
Any shared experiences ? How did you feel ? Has it affected your outlook ? Has it affected your close relationships ?
Thank you in advance x
