Feeling so alone with late diagnosis

Bell20 8 months ago

Hi everyone, I’m very new here and diagnosed autistic 5 weeks ago at age 25. I thought it would feel relieving getting the diagnosis but I’ve only felt hatred about it since getting it. Is that normal? I don’t know any other autistic people and I’m feeling very alone with it. Please help!

I was diagnosed a couple or so years ago in my fifties - so you’re not that late! It takes time to process the diagnosis for many people, so give it time and you might find that you get more comfortable with it in time.
