New to autism

Hey all.

I am 30 and recently discovered I have autism. Loud noises really affect me. I was told I have anxiety disorder in my early 20’s and have never really questioned it since. I had a breakdown and had psychotic episodes. I am now wondering whether I was suppressing my autism and that was my body’s way of dealing with it.

Just want to speak to other autistic people and see if anything similar happened to them

would be nice to share experiences
