I received my diagnosis for Autism this morning aged 33. Am told it will be 6-8 weeks before I get my full report, which will enable me to access support.
Conscious I have a LOT of unmasking to come, as well as the task of 'coming out' to some family and friends.
I'm interested to hear what immediate steps people took when processing their diagnosis. Did you find a therapist right away, did you wait? Same questions for telling friends and family.
Congratulations!
Like others have said - a rollercoaster.
Try not to do what ifs, and if onlys. Don't expect to get the reaction that you'd like, but some people will come around to it eventually.
Good luck, and hope to see you on here.
