After 3 years of waiting I've finally found the answers of why I'm different and feel out of place in the world.Turns out I'm autistic and I do belong. It's a nice feeling. I feel like I finally know the real me, she's always been there but now I can see her for the first time.
I wish I had found out sooner, it would have made my time at school easier for sure. But I'm looking forward now and hoping for an exciting adventure ahead of me.
Congratulations on finally getting your diagnosis and welcome to your tribe.
I think it’ll take more than a week. It’s been a few months since my diagnosis and I still haven’t got my head round it!
But welcome Fuzzyair, it’s the start of a journey toward living a more authentic and sustainable life
Congratulations....welcome to the club.How did your assessment go? Did it last long? Did you struggle with any particular parts? Did you have to wait long for the assessment?
I was diagnosed earlier this week and whilst it was not unexpected, to hear those words of confirmation from the assessor was a huge relief.
I cannot lie - it has hit me though, despite months of wondering and research. I've ended up having to take the week off work so that I can get my head around being "officially" autistic. A real mix of emotions and I expect that to continue for the foreseeable future.
I'm just so thankful for resources such as this fantastic community forum and all of the wonderful members.
Congrats ^^ and welcome to the family
It's an amazing feeling isn't it I don't think I'll ever forget the day I was diagnosed either
The feeling is always there
What are your hobbies? :)
