Regression

JT 11 days ago

Since being diagnosed in 2020 I have been working hard to accept myself, adjust life to accommodate the things I struggle with.

But I have noticed that increasingly I am unable to do many things I used to be able to do: take public transport, work in teams, work with screens for long hours without getting a migraine.

I was interested if any of you have experience regression post-diagnosis?

Yeah I've been stalked drugged and groomed because I was diagnosed with aspergers but the confusion surrounding the changes in how the dsm 5 recognise aspergers syndrome led some people to believe that all people with aspergers syndrome or oppositional demand avoidance actually changed into classic autistic rather than the words in a book being the things that changed , they seen me as they see calsic autistic people and I seen people for what they were , [content removed by Moderator due to breaches of rule 4 of the online community rules and guidelines] , I doubt I'll ever smile an honest smile again.
