Hello I received my autism diagnosis today. After spending so much time feeling weird, constantly the odd one out, the girl who never fitted in with the other girls and doesn't really belong.
But it turns out I do belong with other autistic people. It's such a relief for me to finally know who I am and why I'm the way I am. I feel like I can finally breathe for the first time.
It's a great feeling. I hope I never lose this feeling.
When I was told earlier I thought I was going to cry but I never do because I don't think I can process emotions properly but that doesn't really bother me.
I know it's an autistic thing now so it doesn't really bother me like it would have yesterday.
This is such a good feeling.
Sorry for the long and weird intro!
Welcome to the community! I don’t have diagnosis so far but I also feel here like I absolutely fit in and not like a weirdo anymore. That’s wonderful! Enjoy connecting to the community!
