Diagnosed yesterday

Jessicaaa

Hi, Im Jess and I am 16. Just yesterday I got the results from my ASD assessment and I found out I have high-functioning Autism, which is Aspergers. I dont know how I feel; slightly relieved that it explains how I have been for the past 16 years. I feel embarrassed, as boys in my year are always making jokes about austism, and laugh at it. No one really understood how i feel, but now it all kind of makes sense. I hate change, I find social situations stressful, I obsess with car registration plates. I am nervous to go back to school in case those boys laugh at me. Does anyone have any tips on how to cope wit just being diagnosed? Or what to do about these boys? I just dont feel like I fit in anywhere, and I am scared people will no longer like me with the title "autism". I hope your day has been okx

  • Just on the topic of registration plates, I remember seeing one B106 RPY, which I thought might belong to a writer, as it reminded me of 'biography'. I habitually read number plates, though I don't always remember them so easily now. It can actually be useful on occasion - I have witnessed a crime a few times and been able to recall the number plate of the offender. So enjoy it and feel free to post here if you see any interesting ones and don't feel you can share with other people face to face. It could fit in the 'hobbies and interests' section.
