Newly diagnosed

Hello all,

I have been recently diagnosed after my assessment last week. I am 31 and always struggled my whole life and feel like I don’t fit in. It seemed certain I would get a diagnosis based on the difficulties I have and from my experiences of working with students with ASD; however even though this was expected I am still struggling with the diagnosis and getting upset, trying to accept it, push it away etc. 

How long did it take you all to accept the diagnosis? I know it is a good thing in the sense that it gives me answers to my difficulties. 

Nice to meet you all and it would be helpful to get to know some of you and get some advice on the difficulties I face as I feel very isolated with this currently.

    Hi,

    I would say it took a good year & a half to understand my own needs but your aways learning when new situations come up & thats ok too. life is a learning experience.

    My other advice is just be yourself your labels sholudnt matter to those that actually think something of u.

    This is a community I hope we can help with your isolation

    I enjoy Bowling, Trains & travelling round london & south east on public transport & Fun Swimming & Disability nightclubbing, playstation games & content & chess.
