Diagnosed but not changed

Baggers

I was diagnosed in summer, a 50 plus year old guy.. I’ve masked all my life, struggled to hold down jobs.. I really thought a diagnosis would help me understand but still feel alone, more confused and isolated. Was it worth it?

    It will take some people more time than others to accept and understand their diagnosis. It has taken me about a year to fully come to terms with mine. 

    Give yourself plenty of time to learn about autism and how it impacts you, and learning and resonating from others, it will get easier. You’ll soon know it was worth it.
