Hi,
My name is Tara and I got diagnosed with autism just last week. The diagnosis (after almost a year of therapy for depression, anxiety and social issues) hit me like a truck. Right now I’m quite overwhelmed and I’m struggling to think of myself as “autistic”. I researched it and a lot of it feels like looking into a mirror, but a lot of it does not sound like myself at all. I trust my psychologist, but I’m feeling very conflicted. Does anyone else feel like that?
