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

  • Hey,

    Being a teenager myself, I do find the behaviour of teenagers now appauling. Not everyone, but the harrassment now continues when I go home thanks to social media. You are right, there probably just being rude as there is something going on maybe at home and thats how they cope, like me with my meltdowns. How long was it before you told people about your austism?
