Recently diagnosed

Tami

Hi all. I am a 37 year old woman who was recently diagnosed as autistic and now I have the feeling I need to go back on what has happened though my whole life understanding that I was autistic the whole time and finally undersand why things had happen that way. Any one else has experienced that?

    I am also recently diagnosed. I find it way harder than I expected. Same as you, I am going through my past and sometimes it makes me "oh, that makes sense" other times I am just angry. I started to trial things like a fidget at home and work. I feel more uncompromising about noise at work. It's hard work rather than fun. I am sure "the weight off my shoulder" part will come, it needs time.

    I hope you find your way through the jungle
