So, as of Tuesday it seems I don't have what I thought I had (chronic depression and severe social anxiety disorder) for however long. Instead I have Aspergers.
I understand that this will supposedly make a difference to things but I don't understand why. I know I need to 'adapt' to the idea that I have something different and it will take time.
I'm no more or less vulnerable, struggling, stressed and numerous other things than I was Monday. I'm still indoors, on my own, daren't open curtains or windows and afraid of people as I was Monday.
welcome xoanon - I'm 58 and recently diagnosed. I've suspected autism for about 5 years, so it wasn't a jolt, but the diagnosis was a strange time.
Presently relaxing into things, one of the things being that there is no (?) or very little help for us adults.
I've found the website Wrong Planet a good place for getting information.
