Introducing myself

Hello,

I was diagnosed yesterday (40’s male ASD) and it’s already been good to see posts here from people whose stories I feel I can begin to identify a bit with (never feeling like a proper adult, having had breakdowns, anxiety and depression, not quite sure how to process having a diagnosis, etc). 

I appreciate there being this forum to say and hear experiences as part of trying to understand myself. 

THank you Slight smile

  • Hello and welcome to the forum! Congratulations on your diagnosis.

    The best advice is to give yourself plenty of time to learn and accept your diagnosis. It took my a while to accept my diagnosis but it’s got a lot better with time and learning. 

    Hope to see more posts from you soon Slight smile
