Finally diagnosed. Not sure how I feel about it.

41 year old female, just diagnosed. I’m still processing that.

I’ve been on this forum for some time but before receiving diagnosis I felt like an imposter so I’ve convinced myself that I shouldn’t talk to people (at least not too much) because I wasn’t formally diagnosed. But now I am. Maybe I’ll feel more comfortable in few weeks /months.

    I received my diagnosis on Tuesday. I am 27 but I realised I was Autistic as a teenager. I didn't feel I needed a diagnosis until now. I was the same before my diagnosis and felt like an imposter. Thats why I decided to go through the process as I feel I can talk more openly about it now and not feel like an imposter.
