Increasingly frustrated!

Hey there, 

I’m new here, I was recently diagnosed (talking 2 weeks ago).

So, since being diagnosed, I’ve been getting increasingly frustrated with myself for not being able to understand or feel stupid because it’s like I’m missing the vital piece of information but everyone else knows it, like it was common knowledge.

How are you late diagnosed managing to cope? I just seem to be angry at myself for misunderstanding all the time & I’m always exhausted too, which is also really frustrating. I work full time & work with people directly too so I suppose that’s why I’m always exhausted but still it’s frustrating not being to function ‘normally’

thanks in advance

  • I fell like I arrived on this planet without a manual for living in the late 20th and early 21st centurues, there's so much I don't understand and some stuff that makes me stand out even amoung the ASC community, its frustrating, I often don't know how to explain it to people. I think I've just got used to it and quite a long time ago I decided to make being weird a virtue rather than a bother, but then I also don't mix with others very often anymore.
