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, welcome! I was diagnosed at 30 (I'm 32 now) and for me it's been an ongoing process of discovery, and also seeing past memories in a new light. It did take a while to get used to the idea, especially in the first few months, but overall it's been a very positive process, and I'm really glad I was diagnosed. I hope you'll find this forum to be a great place to read and discuss things, it's really helped me. Wishing you the best
