Newly Self-Diagnosed

MegMoxie
over 3 years ago

Hi everybody, I'm newly self-diagnosed autistic, and I'm just looking for some community. My family has been very lukewarm about me "coming out" as autistic, though thankfully my husband and friends have been enthusiastic and supportive. I'm still learning about my autism and how it affects me. I was misdiagnosed with bipolar for 6 years, and now my official diagnoses are depression and childhood trauma, but I'm adding self-diagnosed autism to the mix because I really think it explains things so much better than any other diagnosis.

Anyway, hello, it's nice to be here.
