Imposter syndrome

dazzleglimmer

Can anybody else relate to imposter syndrome ? After referrals and meetings / assessments with medical people who diagnosed me , it was still in the back of my mind that I’m making it up or something. All my life I’ve masked so well so it conflicted with me . I’m getting better at it now but wondered if anyone else had similar experiences ?

  • I have ups and downs although I’ve only recently received a referral. I have days when I just know I’m autistic, days when I strongly doubt it and days when I’m drained if this roller coaster and regret that I even know about autism and wish I kept living in my own world and with my sweet ignorance although this site helped me a lot and the awareness helped me find a job that is more suitable for me. But it can never be just good to relax.
