New diagnosis

Lingy666

Good evening, everyone. 

I found out today I have autism at the age of 52. I am female. I struggled all my life.

I guess I'm in shock. I've been diagnosed with several different things before I got to a right diagnosis. 

To reaching out to say hi Wave

  • Hi Lingy, 

    I'm 50 as well, and found out I was autistic when I was 49. 

    I hope the diagnosis starts to explain why you have struggled and also minimise future struggles. I reeled around for quite a while before things started to settle down and make sense, so make sure you're kind and look after yourself like a friend who's had a big surprise. There's plenty of time to process everything.
