So.....received my Aspergers diagnosis today

Felix1974

Hi All,

Further to my posts introducing myself last week, I received a diagnosis for Aspergers today. 

Can't say that this is the biggest surprise in the world . 

In a way I'm relieved. I know now that I'm not just odd and I can start to research the condition further and build on the coping strategies that I have used for decades .

This should help me with all areas of my life , family , work , hopefully social .

Not sure what else to say right now, just processing the day's events.

  • Hi Felix74.

    Glad to hear that you're relieved.  You say the diagnosis should help you in all areas of your life -  and the relief of knowing, and everything in your life suddenly making sense post-diagnosis should really help.

    I'm awaiting an assessment (since last June) but know that if a diagnosis of Aspergers is made in my case, I would feel exactly the same.

    I've heard others say too that it sometimes takes a while to process the diagnosis, but no doubt everything will fall into place.
