got a call in the afternoon letting me know clinical partners can confirm a diagnosis for autism. And I’m not sure if this is shock or the actual realisation but I feel like it’s not true and I’m still lying… almost wanting to seek a second opinion,
I haven’t gotten my report yet so I’ll wait to read that.
Not sure if this is a normal reaction but I’m low-key scared.
I know I was the one that went seeking a diagnosis and now I have it i don’t want it ungrateful much.
thanks for reading
Your reaction is normal for you. There's no right or wrong reaction with this. I remember after I was told I was autistic I just froze and stared at the wall for about ten minutes...weird reaction but I think it was just the shock and also realisation that at last, I knew who I was.
It's a lot to take in all at once. A lot of processing required, but you'll get there. Take it one day, one step at a time. You've got this my friend. :)
Oh, and welcome to the autistic club. Coolest club in the world.
