Just wanted to share. Confirmed ASD lvl1 and sending for ADHD assessment (I’m 49 male). Been a long few years getting here. No clue what to do next but will think about who to tell (if anyone). Telling you guys feels like I’ve told someone at least!
Went through RTC - Psychiatry UK after being on NHS list for over 3 years. Dr was really good and not as painful as I’d assumed.
Hi
Congratulations on your diagnosis.
I am newly diagnosed and have only told close family. I figured its probably better to come to terms with the diagnosis myself first.
Hope things are going well for you

Hey
Thanks for the post. yeah it’s been a tough 2 months trying to figure out how/if to tell people. Only just told my folks who are late 70s who still don’t really want to accept it - but I’ve just told them not to even think about it as it doesn’t change anything. Funnily enough I’ve told boss at work just this week which was hard but I’m happy I’ve done It (in confidence) but now I’ve told them I may choose to tell my team too. Feels like a small weight has been lifted.
for many years I’ve been thinking daily about assessment and the results - then thinking daily about telling people. I just decided that I’m not sure I can continue with that in my head forever.
what makes it hard, for me at least, is that I feel that I’m lying to people / or finding it hard when the subject comes up, that I’m being deceitful - and that makes me feel terrible. I find lying to be very hard anyway.
The coming to terms was actually really easy as I wasn’t thinking otherwise - Just my daily worry turned into another daily worry (worry prob not the right word).
Good luck in whatever you choose - no right/wrong way, just try to do what’s best for you
