Hello everyone,
I'm newly diagnosed with Autism, the clinical psychologist said to me that it was clear from speaking with my mum the year and a half prior and doing the ADOS-2 Module 4 that I was indeed Autistic, I didn't say much else and just said to her that I now understand why I struggled with a lot of things in life when it comes to socialising, making friends, relationships and routines etc., but I regret not asking her questions when it comes to what happens next regarding post diagnosis and stuff like that? She did say that my GP would be involved and I'm assuming I wasn't masking because I felt that I was myself there if that makes sense? Just feel like I've been masking most times and it was hard for me to be myself before I was diagnosed. Now I just feel like I'm myself and I'm glad to be diagnosed too.
