Life changes since diagnosis/self-realisation/identification

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?

  • Thank you everyone.

    I don't answer every post, but I do read them all.

    There is a lot of food for thought here.

    It does sadden me when others have negative experiences that are directly related to a diagnosis.

    My diagnosis was positive for me, but then I am at a different life stage to many others.

    If I'd had the diagnosis in my 20s I don't know how differently it might have affected me.
