Hello,
I am a 43 year old female and was diagnosed with autism last week. The assessor said she would recommend this diagnosis replaces a previous incorrect one of BPD. I don’t know how to feel or what to do now. Do I tell people? My family? I have just began a new job, do I tell my manager? Would this help?
The assessor told me they had very little doubt I was autistic but I have thoughts that perhaps they got it wrong or somehow I faked it without realising. I want to be 100% sure, I can’t be.
How have other people felt or managed after diagnosis?
