Imposter syndrome

Hi

I’ve just received my diagnostic report, now imposter syndrome is setting in. I’m feeling quiet and upset now

  • I’ve always believed I am autistic I was self diagnosed for a few years before I received my official diagnosus a month ago

    i I agree with the diagnosis I am autistic and I have always been autistic.

    I’ve also had others say but your not as autistic as so and so and I’m thinking autism is a spectrum meet one and that’s one person you’ve met,  

  • 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?
