New and getting diagnosis

hello,

I'm new to this forum. I am 54 years old and have had (yesterday), the first part of a two-stage diagnostic process. 

The consultant was very nice, but I feel quite flat about the whole thing. It was almost like I had to justify myself. I recognise much of the Asperger characteristics and it has helped me understand a lot of my life up to now. The next part of the process takes place in a month and will involve "things to do". I'm not sure what this means. I am feeling anxious about the whole thing now. Another thing to fuel anxiety.

  • So, I finally received my diagnosis report. It was very thorough. And, of course, confirmed what I knew To be the case. I anticipated feeling relief of some sort, but simply feel flat. Thanks for all of the supportive comments. At least now I know why I'm such a loner. LoL. Onwards and upward, eh?
