As adult you get diagnose then on your own do to
much then go into shut down mode
Well explained Iain, this is precisely my experience too
Has anything changed from before the diagnosis to after?
Most of us receive the diagnosis and realise that is it only that we now know the cause of the issues we face and nothing is any different before.
The one big difference is that with this knowledge we can start to understand more about the condition, how it affects us and how we can do things to make out lives better.
There is no state provided support unfortunately, you will need to rely on yourself, hiring a therapist (if you can afford one), friends and family or the community here to work through your issues.
Sorry it isn't better news, but it is better than before, so that is something
