Feeling lost after diagnosis

sidenote 1 day ago

I recently received my diagnosis of ASD level 1 and ever since I feel quite lost. I was pretty sure I would be diagnosed so it isn’t a big shock but ever since I am really struggling to process it all.

I think the biggest thing is I’m not sure who I am anymore my sense of self seems really off. Is this normal, did other people feel like this and if you did what did you do to start feeling more yourself again. Where there things you did that really helped?

Yes I think this is many people's experience. I felt really low after my diagnosis which was a surprise. I think it's a big life change somehow, and your body and mind take a while to adjust. Be kind with yourself and give yourself permission to feel weird for a bit.
