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?

  • On one hand it feels like all my life has been explained and makes sense, on the other hand I’m tired of overthinking and processing old events again and again but there is some force that pushes me to do it. I just let myself experience what I do, but I also remember to come back to both my intense hobbies that I have, it helps me clean up my head a bit. Now I’m more compassionate towards myself and others. Plus knowledge and understanding are powerful tools which help me navigate my life the way it’s more bearable for me, instead of trying to be someone who I’m not and never will be.
