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.
I am 49 and newly diagnosed with ASD - after first seeing a psych doc at age 11. It's gone from bad to worse since then, and I have really been left in the dirt, hurt, let down, betrayed....
And I am very, very, very angry.
