Recent ASD diagnosis

Hello,

I was recently diagnosed with ASD as a young adult after multiple people and friends throughout my life mentioned it.

I'm a high functioning autistic, things now make sense after the diagnosis, which is a bit of a relief. I'm not sure how I feel about it though, mixed emotions. I need time to digest and understand more about it.

It would be good to hear other people's journey when they first got diagnosed, like what helped and create a support network etc.

In some sense, I feel very alone now I got an official diagnosis and label...

Thanks :)

  • Sorry you feel alone. I am sure you will find your feet soon. It is a relief as it was for me when my daughter was diagnosed. Now we can let people in and explain to family and friends why we are the way we are and hopefully feel better understood :)
