Is it just me or are there others who didn't have any particular reaction or emotional response to their diagnosis?
I had the same with my Bipolar diagnosis 10ish years ago. That time it made sense of my severe extremes of mood, from euphoric to suicidal. It also explained the psychotic episodes. It was interesting, but nothing life changing. I just accepted it as part of me and that was the end of it.
Autism makes sense of stuff too: the not-quite-hypomania where I become totally obsessed with certain things. Difficulties with social interactions, sensory issues etc. etc
However, I don't have any of the anger, grief, depression, massive relief etc. that other people talk about. I'm comfortable with being autistic and I don't "feel" anything about being diagnosed. It's just another part of me now, no issues.
Is that normal too?
Btw: I don't need links for things to read about being diagnosed. I've read loads already and am a bit bored of reading about all this stuff I apparently might feel but don't. Neither do I want the "why not do therapy" suggestion. I'm literally just wondering if there's others out there like me.
