New to Autism, even though I have it!

Hi everyone, my name is Michael, and I am 29 years old.  I have recently began the diagnosis proceedings for ASD, and would like to learn from people on this forum, to help me cope with some very difficult aspects of my life, which have got me at rock bottom, and caused my first relationship to end :(

I also hope to contribute back whatever I can, and am very pleased to be here, and moving towards a happy future :)

  • Hi Michael, it's nice to meet you. I am 31 and I was diagnosed with Asperger's about 5 years ago. I suspected for a couple of years that I had AS before I got my diagnosis.

    When I was diagnosed I felt relieved, but I also found it difficult to get my head around. Most people take a little time to come to terms with the diagnosis. What you're feeling sounds totally normal. You're already starting to feel a lot better about it, and I think you will come to peace with it.

    I hope you can get a clear diagnosis that will help you get the right support.
