Hi.
I've recently been diagnosed as autistic and it's still hitting home. I've worked with kids with ASD for a while and suddenly have realised why I've clicked with them so much.
When I first got the diagnosis I felt a huge amount of relief, but now I'm starting to get this feeling of; 'who am I, 'what do I look like unmasked' and 'what happens now'.
I feel proud of myself for taking this step, however it does feel very lonely at the minute as I don't know people who are similar to me, especially as the only other autistic people I know are the kids and adults I teach, who have added learning difficulties.
Anyone else feeling like this too??
