Life changes since diagnosis/self-realisation/identification

Deleted user

This question was inspired by Out of Step.

Since your diagnosis of autism, or your realisation and self identification of autism, have you changed and how?

Also, have others changed in their atttitude to you?

Also, have you made any changes to your life that benefit you?

Has it changed your thought processes/attitude to others/past life experiences etc etc?

    I was diagnosed last month. Im 46. I feel I can be ME without feeling I am needing to adpat and change, even though I find sensory overwhelm and it triggers anxiety, I now feel more confident BUT when I told my father he was very dismissing.....

    Listening to audio books on female autism has been my first step which was recommended by the assessor
