Hi
I’ve just received my diagnostic report, now imposter syndrome is setting in. I’m feeling quiet and upset now
Imposter syndrome over being autistic?
Yes it’s quite common
Oh I wasn't doubting you I just needed clarity. I myself agree with my diagnosis. But I'm high functioning, so I get a lot of "There are autistic people who are *much worse* than you, who are managing just fine!". I guess their years of training me to shut down and not talk about my problems really succeeded. But anyway.
So do you think the diagnosis was wrong? If so, what would make you think that?
