Diagnosed today - 23/08/2023

Hi all

Just to say that I received a very late diagnosis today. It wasn't a surprise, I have had difficulty with social interaction since being a child. I had a lightbulb moment, 4 years ago, when having counselling for anxiety and depression. I have always felt different. I feel people stare at me - though I used to dismiss this. I remained in my family home far longer than is usual. Although the diagnosis wasn't a complete surprise, it now seems real. Do I now have a new identity? And, where did I go from here? I haven't discussed my diagnosis with family as yet, as they have there own issues. 

It would great to hear from others.
