Feelings after diagnosis

Millicent_Bystander

I got diagnosed yesterday at 57, today I feel very anxious and vulnerable.

Was wondering how other people felt after a late diagnosis.

  • I got diagnosed in my 60s, about 10 months ago.

    I was delighted at first as autism explained many of the things that I blamed myself for. Later, I got angry at some of the things that had happened to me in the past, even though autism wasn’t fully recognised, especially in girls, when I was growing up. Diagnosis has been a good thing for me as it has removed much of the guilt.
