I was diagnosed last night

I was diagnosed last night and I feel relieved but also very overwhelmed.

I cannot help but feel a little like an imposter, has anybody else felt in a similar position?

    Hi Lianna, I was diagnosed this morning and before my appointment I was thinking, I’m not autistic and even on the therapist saying, I am 100% autistic, it still didn’t hit me and I also have the imposter syndrome going on, I’ve told one person today and I don’t want to tell anyone else for fear they will call me out and say I’m not autistic and the stigma of having autism

    Thank you for replying!

    I am sorry you don't feel like you can tell anyone. However, I know exactly how you feel.

    Some people I have told have agreed and are happy for me, others are not taking the news so well.
