Fresh Diagnosis

NAS91982

Hi:)

I'm 22 and just received my ASD diagnosis. Even though I've known for a while, it is still a lot to process and i am struggling with this...

I work in finance and am determined to not let this hinder my career.

Is anyone is the same boat?

Any recommendations on how to process this? And how to move forward?

Thank you x

    Hi, I was diagnosed last summer at the age of 52 and I'm still processing it tbh. A lot of people on here have had a similar journey - grief for our past life, imposter syndrome thinking maybe the diagnosis isn't right, trying to figure out who to tell and reacting to their reactions, trying to figure out if we can unmask and what changes we can make to our life or job to make things easier.

    As I said, it's a journey that most of us are still on.
