Autism Diagnosis

Mid life diagnosis, puts so much into perspective & makes sense yet there seems to be after the initial relief at knowing, a huge amount of processing & internal dialogue. I guess I am wondering how other people felt and if they went through similar?

  • Hi and welcome to the club.

    I'm 1 year post diagnosis and am still getting used to it after the initial aha moment.

    I find myself going from being positive about my autism to feeling it is the worst thing ever to happen. I have lost my career of over 30 years due to small mindedness and stereotypical assumptions.

    This place has kept me sane...well almost!!!
