I'm in my thirties and always considered myself a bit of an odd duck but always got on with life, relationships, eduction jobs etc.
Lately I've been wondering whether I'm on the spectrum and was considering talking to my GP, but I'm wondering if there's really any point. I manage to get on with my life so what happens after a dagnosis that would benefit me?
Some people might find they understand themselves better because of it, but I'm also weary of defining myself because of it, and not pushing myself because of a 'condition'. I do have some mild depression for which I take medication, and I wonder what effect a ASD diagnosis would have on that.
So, what happens after diagnosis that would benefit someone in my situtation?
