48, diagnosed yesterday, Well, didn’t expect to feel like this !

Good morning all ! 

I was diagnosed 2 days ago with ASD ! Still awaiting my full NHS diagnosis report, but was told on the spot at the end of my first 3.5 appt.

How does everybody deal with this sudden complete overload of you now pulling your 48 years of life to pieces, it’s a nuts combo of emotions, relief, clarity, guilt, anger, resentment, sadness…..and just the overriding questions of what’s this now going to be like and how’s it going to change me and how the hell has nobody historically seen this lol ?

I know there’s no set way of processing this, everybody will be different, just curious to how others, particularly at my age range dealt with it in their first few days and weeks ?

Thanks for reading….
