Diagnosed last week ASD level 1

Impreza

Hi everyone , just wanted to say hello and how happy Iam  to be part of this community .

I am a 50 year old man now diagnosed with ADHD and ASD Level 1  , Really looking forward to learning from others on the forum about being Neuro Diverse and Autistic 

I was given a diagnosis 2 months ago, then they changed their mind due to information  on a parent report I submitted , thankfully a colleague from the   NHS helped me to challenge my case and she  educated Psychiatry UK on the diagnostic process . I feel very lucky to have had such support  

I am wondering what you guys out there experienced post diagnosis.? Iam  a bit up and down at the moment , hopeful, excited then flat and repeat

  • Welcome Impreza.

    I think many of us later diagnosed adults would likely admit to the post-diagnosis iterative cycle of: up, down, hopeful, excited, flat and repeat.

    I have been trying to pick one discovery / learning point at a time, educating myself, trying out some relevant strategies and then reviewing how things went for me (things to keep and things to cross off) and then further fine-tuning or refining - when new information or ideas on the topic come to my attention.

    It is all a bit full-on if I catch myself thinking about too many different Autism / neurodivergent considerations - all at one time.
